Granted, he informs you that he will spend the last year of his life making people happy. Of course genies can live for millions of years.

I wish I had some good music to listen to.

My first wish is to wish for the proper 3 wishes that a Genie is supposed to grant. He can quit being a fucking cheapskate.

Then for my first wish of those three I wish that no force at all could interfere with the repercussions of the wishes that I wish for, no matter how powerful it is. I get my wishes and that's it. End of story.

Other than that probably a load of money, say 10 billion, and a lifetime supply of ExtenZe, just for shits and giggles.

wish granted, the next time you find the genie you will be able to wish three times, pity he dissappears for 1000 years first.

the wish for more wishes is old, and it will always be answered like so, the OP fixed that

impossible. my wish forces him to be unable to do anything that would fulfill his own desire to seek vengeance on those who make wishes. at the same time, he is still forced to grant people's wishes and to feel the need to pursue a vengeance that he cant fulfill.

Also, i wouldnt wish that we "could switch worlds" i would directly tell the genie to do it

EDIT: I am here refferign to David Lewis's theory of possible worlds

and note that by wishing to change possible worlds, you can actually wish for more than one thing, becuase your one wish is to be exchanged from one world with your counterpart, but in that world you might have many things that you wanted in this one

Also note, when philosophers say "closest possible world", it means the one where everything is identical to this world except the things specified

wish granted, due to unspecification of 'x' the genie switches you and the you in the world where you are the most miserable

btw

I wish people would realise how unimportant religion is too survival and start acting like a real society. One for all, all for one.


LOL, people realize that they no longer need the pathetic veneer of religion to act on their baser desires. We kill each other for more practical reasons, like lack of natural resources, rather than for religious ideals. In comes the new boss same as the old boss...

wish granted, the you that you switch with is unhappy with the switch because he lost all his money, power and happiness while you have it, but the one you switched with was hated by the world, but he didn't care.
