Yeah, yeah, world peace, no war, whatever. Doesn’t anyone have anything interesting to contribute? Let’s pretend the wishes can only be used on yourself, and can’t in any way directly affect the lives of people who aren’t you. Now, let’s see what would make my life easier…
Since 7 wishes really is quite a bit of overkill, I might as well start small. No more spam. Not by email, not by regular mail, not at all. I DON’T want to see anything in my inbox that isn’t directly addressed to me, nor concerning a matter that wasn’t initially requested by me.
A significant (albeit unexplainable) boost to my bank account. Nobody knows how it got there, but hey, I’ll never have to work again. Naturally, this wish comes with the added condition that these funds are magically locked away and are somehow resistant to all attempts of theft, in any form (bank fees are virtually theft). While we’re at it, the funds aren’t considered to be income, nor are they available to be taxed.
In a shallow society, all you can do is follow suit or fall to the dark solitary depths. So, my physical appearance is given an overhaul to better suit the generic characteristic-less face of today. Nothing special, mind you, my intention is to NOT be noticed. Too far in one direction or the other, and people will look at you. Bring on the clones.
Given the various uses I have planned out for that money, it goes without saying that I’ll need a significant boost to my level of health. I’ll be a walking demonstration of the perfect being - able to do whatever I like and stylishly side-step the horrible effects generally experienced by the rest of you ‘norms’. No illness can strike be down, and I’m impervious to disease.
Next, my sleep routine is altered such that I never need to endure deep, unconscious sleep. From the moment I close my eyes, to the moment I open them, it’s a boundless ride of super-lucidity. As far as my senses are concerned, for the full duration that I’m asleep, I’m simply transported to the world of my imagination. With this, comes the ability to fall asleep within seconds of requesting so, rather than having to relax for an indefinite period beforehand. Understandably, this might raise the concern that my real life would fall into second priority - but so be it.
There should be virtually no limit to my understanding of physics and science - computational and practical. Every conceivable law and definition is second nature to me, and I’m fluent in all existing languages of science. Abstract math reads like a children’s book, and I shall never have use for a calculator.
To compliment my wealth, charm, knowledge and sensibility, I’ll have an inhuman ability to control those around me through inadvertent hypnosis and powerful suggestion. The mere reflection in my eyes reminds you of your overwhelming craving to fulfill my desire - whatever casual or temporary aspiration it might be (and however unrealistic). Your subconscious is my playground.
