I’ve been doing these kinds of things all my life. I usually preface it with “that’s not a question, it’s a stupid statement based upon a wrong headed assumption”.
Some folks never learned top think or never could. It’s like if I point to a red door on a house and say “what color is it?”. Or something I like to do with kids, I ask “if you could have one wish what would that wish be?”.
The answer to the first question is “it’s red on this side”. The answer to the second question is “I’d wish to be the person who grants all the wishes”.
No, it's not. That's merely wishing to be put into slavery.
“”No, it’s not. That’s merely wishing to be put into slavery””.
I’m not sure how that could be the case since you would be able to change anything you wanted to.
You'd be beholden to the current wish-requestor.
The correct answer would be to set the genie free, and not have to grant any more wishes. It's not like we're intelligent enough to wish for something without screwing things up.
