You're either trolling or you have a mental health problem (depression perhaps?).

I don't see how it is so mentally insane to want more out of life. I think people who think 1 million is the same as having 100 million are delusional, as it is nothing of the sort. Sure, I could buy a bunch of shit with 1mm, but then what? If I had a job right now that I enjoyed, BELIEVE me, I wouldn't be posting. But I am unemployed, I left my old work, and I won't go back to it. So I have to find something new.

You already got way more out of life in 8 years than most people get in a lifetime. Financially, at least. If you want more out of life, maybe you should look at other things than money.

Now is a perfect time to look for something new. With your good passive income, you can afford to try lots of different things. It doesn't have to be a job. You can travel. You can spend a year doing volunteer work. Maybe that's more satisfying than this hunt for a goal that's beyond the reach of very nearly everybody in the entire world.
