Tired of ads?

1. Infinite money.
2. MMI - I could connect to the net or play games even while walking down the road or sleeping.
3. My PC to be of the quantum variety.

Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations

I think he might mean creating it out of nowhere.

That's what my idea was with the $500 billion I wished for. I could've just said "All the money in the world", but I wouldn't want all the people who lost money knocking on my door. The economic impact at first would be a lot (with the $500bil creation) but my control of the government would allow me to set off the impending disaster with a few legislation.

Considering the original Djinn (Genie) was a selfish and malicious trickster, being as specific as possible is always a plus.

Got spare money?

I would preface my wishes with extensive, literal definitions to make sure there are no unintended consequences. I would have to spend a lot of time thinking about specifics, but I can give you guys 3 ideas out of the blue.

1. All-knowing, obedient computer system AI that essentially can accurately answer most questions asked and can creatively construct original thoughts. For example, the AI would be able to tell me obscure statistics like "How many times did Julius Caesar masturbate in his life?", explain scientific concepts or perhaps, directly download such information to my brain (a la Matrix), and create original designs of systems like, "Design an efficient, renewable energy system". This system would have an open-ended upgrage option which would include an unlimited manufacturing capability. The system itself would be small, portable, secure, and only accessable by myself; but would be able to create whatever it needed to do whatever job I asked it to. Such a tool would be invaluable. With such knowledge; money, health, and many other things that most people would wish for could be provided by this system.

I'd have fun with number 1 before making other wishes. In fact, number 1 might be all I'd ever need.


My thoughts exactly.

Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

Total exemption from all taxes for ever.

That's the most selfish wish in this thread.
