And not a monkey’s paw moment.
For the world to be truly united into a democratic representative utopia. A world without war, without famine, without global warming. At the heart of all issues is, despite the fact we’re all so close to each other, that we operate and behave in our own self interests or to the detriment of each other. I’d wish for all borders to be opened. Everyone to be given a unquestionable bare minimum set of human rights across the globe. Removal of diplomatic immunity and forced standardisation of laws with the goal of levelling the living standards of all people. Etc. World peace but with a foundation to keep it going I think.
Free quality healthcare worldwide. If i take two people with me, can i also have a cure for Alzheimer’s/dementia and affordable food that meets minimum daily requirements.
I’d volunteer just for those other 2 things.

“GOP Proposes Banning Sacrificial Death Miracles”
AP News - Decrying the seemingly miraculous events of last week as “blatant socialism” and, rather ironically, “part of the woke agenda”, house Republicans have introduced a bill that would make sacrificing ones life altruistically a felony. When asked how they planned to prosecute the rotting corpse of the accused were the bill to pass, House Speaker Mike Johnson acknowledged the steep uphill battle, stating, “we will leave no gravestone unturned when it comes preventing ordinary Americans from having God-like benevolence and generosity forced upon them against their will.”
How can i upvote this more than once?
Healthcare was my initial thought too. Especially in the US it’s used way too much as a bargaining chip/greed center. Yeah I’ll just stop living.
Ghosts are now real and have all the powers they have in all movies, books, games etc. made about them
Immortality
Immortality
Immortality seems like a good idea, but there’s going to be a LONG time from when the last living thing dies out to the heat death of the universe where you’ll finally join non-existance. EONs of nothing to do likely floating in a vacuum or being trapped on all sides by rock/debris. No thanks.
“Longer than you think, Dad!”
Be careful how you jaunt.
/mind blown
Don’t know if that would work as the payment is your life. You wouldn’t be around to receive it. Interesting thought experiment
This could be a new method of becoming a lich.
Lich, I said what I said
I’d rather be immortal than dead
Workaround: wish to be reincarnated as an immortal.
It basically describes the idea of a digital replicant though. Your body dies but you’d have a perfect copy of your consciousness to continue on without mortal constraints.
How can you be immortal if you are already dead . In any case, you will become a zombie. Sounds familiar …
That altruism becomes the most potent force on the planet.
For the people who depend on me for safety, for income, for having a place to live, for having someone to have their back, for advice, for learning how to be independent, for figuring out their unusual health issues, for having a broader perspective on current events, …
To have the support they need, or never need it again. I love the people around me, but if I had a choice I wouldn’t be here
That people were magically able to understand, sympathise and accept other people’s lives and lived experiences. A world where everyone was accepted as who they are, as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone.
I wish to not sacrifice my life and still be granted my wish.
That is the wish, and has the same outcome as if you didn’t get a wish
That sounds like Monkey Paw BS to me. OP said no monkey business!
Can I wait until I’m 100 years old?
While it’s a shame to waste a powerful wish I quite enjoy being alive.
The power to choose, just before dying, to come back to life as a healthy 30 y/o.
But you probably meant only selfless acts allowed, hence the “sacrifice” verbiage. In that case, instantaneous worldwide post-scarcity society. That’d address most of the world’s ills, eventually. Being ultra-rich means nothing in post-scarcity; not needing Middle-East oil and African mineral resources would eliminate most international meddling in those locations. While it wouldn’t immediately address climate change or cure all diseases, it’d mean enough food and energy for everyone, and it’d give us the means to accomplish these.
If so many of us weren’t spending all our time working just to feed, clothe, and house ourselves, we could accomplish much as a species.
I’d wish for humanity to transcend our physical form and live in a virtual world as gods.
To be reincarnated as me with mutant healing ability and 17 Billion tax-free dollars in the bank.
Sounds like 3 wishes
Oh heavens no. I’m simply describing the state in which I wish to be reincarnated. It’s just thoroughness.
I wish I knew what to wish for.
Your wish is your own death, now you know. Self fulfilling.
A most ironic end to an emotionally numb life.
Complete inversion of entropy
Universal healthcare in the United States.
Just the United States? Why would you limit it like that?
Sorry I assume everyone else has it.
