Wait I thought of a second wish. That politician? The one You (yes you) don’t like? Every time they open their mouth to talk in public or when there’s something around to record they let out the grossest nastiest wettest fart like they gotta go check, but everything’s dry. But it’s so nasty they gotta go check every time. For the rest of their life.
don't forget to make your first wish "if i, as i am now or as i become subsequent to their fulfilment, am unsatisfied with the outcome of any of my wishes, i wish to return to the moment i first was granted them, retaining full knowledge of the timeline as i caused it to be but with the ability to make diffent choices"
since we're supposed to not be dealing with a monkey paw/genie situation, i didn't use it this way, but in general I'd recommend making it your first wish under any such circumstances.
rephrase as necessary to further weed out possible loopholes.
Infinite positive-effects-only wishes (what I consider to be positive)
Everyone now has empathy and selflessness, eliminating corruption, greed, stepping over each other, exploitation, etc.
Post-scarcity society, eliminating class even more than the above, since everyone can own whatever they want. Basically a real life Replicator.
Since I got infinite wishes, given number 3, society will have an even bigger trash problem than we already have. So a convenient, self-contained black hole we can put trash into, inventing a method of creating dark matter, revolutioning how we store energy, Futurama-style, which then becomes free due to post-scarcity.
Healthy planet, healthy people, healthy animals, plants, etc. Also includes mental health (infinite wishes are nice)
A replicator solves the trash problem, you just throw the trash in the replicator and it breaks it down to build stuff.
I choose you to get the wishes. Your list is my list. I don’t wish for immortality - since I had kids, I’m disqualified. But 10x the lifespan with hundreds of years feeling like I do now, that would be nice, and with the replicator technology (who will get the manual on how to service these) the carrying capacity of the earth should be higher.
The ability to change all aspects of myself at will
