So what would your three wishes be?

1. Absolute control of all matter, space, and time.

2. Happiness

3. Contentment.

Those wishes seem pretty contradictory.

Hey, it's not my problem. The genie's got
to figure out how to make them happen.

Now, the fact that I strive for these things,
ANYHOW, is kinda frightening.

I am sure the genie will come up with a way of doing it in a manner you would hate. Nothing wrong with striving for those things, as long as you dont go for any unscruplous methods.

I'd love to see it try.
Anyhow, if it did, I'd torture it.

As to unscrupulous methods, since
absolute power corrupts absolutely,
one can do ANYTHING to attain it.
The results will be the same.

You have hit a paradox here with absolute power. If one has absolute power, surely that would include the power to ensure that it didnt corrupt them?

hello calandale. how are you this fine sunday?

Sick still, and overbused from dancing,
but thank you for asking. Pretty cheerful
otherwise.
i am keen to develope a friendlier relationship with you.  so that we may popularity bust.


are you a lone gunman, or could you use a confidant?
Misunderstood.

So? I like paradoxes.

I too, would like that. But, I suspect we'll
get sick of one another.  :laugh:

I don't know that I'm trying to DO anything.
But, I'll answer things truthfully, either in the
open, or by PM. Within limits of discretion. Use
them as you wish.

But who cares if I'm wrong, if there are no moral issues?
No, the paradox is just more protection.

You claim to be always right. Do you lead your life by morality then?

Always right about SOME things. Not everything.
It's a matter of birdie infallibility. I usually invoke
it post facto.

Of course I lead my life by morality. How else
could a be paradoxical?
