    My second wish was always to wish for more (and better) wish-fulfilling genies, because I’m a little shithead. I also get stressed out about the implication of genies. Like genies must mean that there is an afterlife, and so if I choose not to do what is for the common good, am I then dooming myself to burn in hell because I - by inaction - have chosen to let billions suffer?

        Yeah because on the other hand any wish I make that “saves the world” will basically require me fundamentally restructuring the lives of most everyone, probably also including their mindsets - basically enslaving others to my will. That’s also not good, but if I just focus on my self am I being selfish? stalin-stressed

        Genie: Dude I dunno, just wish to be a prince or something, don’t worry about it lol
