    Default One wish...

    Imagine if one day you came upon a Genie who would allow you to wish for one thing to be given to you in this world. You cannot wish for more wishes, but besides that it is open season (keep it PG though). Answer honestly, don't just try to make yourself look good.

    I'll give my answer later...

    This is supposed to be a philosophical and moral conundrum where you think about what matters to you enough that you would have it over anything else in the world.

    So you'd use your first and only wish to be able to wish for more wishes?

    If you did that, you'd have no wishes left to wish for the extra wishes...

    So you should use the first wish to wish for extra wishes.

    :hmmm:

    I didn't. I wished that rule out of existance, meaning I could then wish for more wishes.

    If I could have one wish, it would be to never be forgotten.

    In that case you would be out of wishes wishing you could wish for more wishes...

    But people be serious, this is in the Ethos because I want to see people's real reactions to that possibility...

    I would wish to be god until I died. Then God can have his powers back.

    To be a god, it's the same thing as having more wishes.
