1. Collapse of civilization. Not that I think this is necessarily a good thing, but that I think it's an important thing to think about. Have you read Jacques Barzun's From Dawn to Decadence?
2. Emacs. The time I spent using Emacs is #3 on my list of the top 3 things I disliked about being a comp sci major (#1 was using VI, #2 was coding in Ada). In fact, in order to avoid having to use Emacs, I would carry a floppy with PC-Write around with me at all times so I could use that to edit my code.
3. I can't say that either one suprises me individually, but I find it kind of surprising to find anarcho-capitalism and United Nations on the same list.
4. Cryogeology. The study of cold rocks?
5. Calendar reform. With your pre-existing interests in metrification and 24-hour time, I would think you would also be thinking about time reform and rationalization on a larger scale.
