1) receive an indestructible document that lists ALL of Earth's history and mysteries (including crap like truth about Roswell, JFK, bigfoot, true nature of Jesus, explanation for all supernatural phenomena)

2) ability to safely travel by worm hole to any location in the Universe

3) all rapists and murderers instantly turn into stone statues with bronze plaques citing their crimes


that would have worked if you hadn't stopped me

three wishes:
1. more empathy, respect and understanding among humans
2. more respect towards nature
3. -
I think with enough respect, empathy and understanding, the humans will fulfill the next wish by themselves: peace

Do you have ANY positive wishes- either for yourself, or others?

1. For everyone to realize how words can hurt.
2. Strange for an atheist perhaps, but I wish god actually existed.
3. I’d be satisfied with the first two.

Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas.

There is much truth in that statement. I recently talked to someone who was involved with the big concern in the 1970s of growing world population, particularly in Africa. And of course AIDS happened and the problem wasn't a problem any more. Nobody would applaud a disease that decimates human population, but it was becoming an awful question as to how this growing population was going to be fed. But, AIDS happened, and the scientists moved onto other concerns.

My first instinct for my #3 was to say what you said. Two wishes are enough, surely? But I got greedy ;)

But now I'll change my #3 to wishing I can meet someone who looks like the person in your avatar. But then I still need my other #3 - a fighting chance.

I read a statement lately: "There are enough resources on earth to feed twice it's actual human population - they only had to be shared just."

But there's no need to worry about a population explosion.
For example: here in Germany we actually are a nation dying slowly. According to statistics, any nation need about 2 children per family to reproduce their population. The Germans have approximately "1.3" children - not enough for the population to even stagnate. There are still less children born than people dying.
