    For the people who depend on me for safety, for income, for having a place to live, for having someone to have their back, for advice, for learning how to be independent, for figuring out their unusual health issues, for having a broader perspective on current events, …

    To have the support they need, or never need it again. I love the people around me, but if I had a choice I wouldn’t be here

      Immortality

      Immortality seems like a good idea, but there’s going to be a LONG time from when the last living thing dies out to the heat death of the universe where you’ll finally join non-existance. EONs of nothing to do likely floating in a vacuum or being trapped on all sides by rock/debris. No thanks.

      Don’t know if that would work as the payment is your life. You wouldn’t be around to receive it. Interesting thought experiment

      How can you be immortal if you are already dead . In any case, you will become a zombie. Sounds familiar …

      Headlines a short time later…

      “GOP Proposes Banning Sacrificial Death Miracles”

      AP News - Decrying the seemingly miraculous events of last week as “blatant socialism” and, rather ironically, “part of the woke agenda”, house Republicans have introduced a bill that would make sacrificing ones life altruistically a felony. When asked how they planned to prosecute the rotting corpse of the accused were the bill to pass, House Speaker Mike Johnson acknowledged the steep uphill battle, stating, “we will leave no gravestone unturned when it comes preventing ordinary Americans from having God-like benevolence and generosity forced upon them against their will.”

      Healthcare was my initial thought too. Especially in the US it’s used way too much as a bargaining chip/greed center. Yeah I’ll just stop living.

    Can I wait until I’m 100 years old?

    While it’s a shame to waste a powerful wish I quite enjoy being alive.

    For the world to be truly united into a democratic representative utopia. A world without war, without famine, without global warming. At the heart of all issues is, despite the fact we’re all so close to each other, that we operate and behave in our own self interests or to the detriment of each other. I’d wish for all borders to be opened. Everyone to be given a unquestionable bare minimum set of human rights across the globe. Removal of diplomatic immunity and forced standardisation of laws with the goal of levelling the living standards of all people. Etc. World peace but with a foundation to keep it going I think.

    I’d wish for all present and future humans to have much greater empathy. I think a lack of empathy is at the root of most major problems. I would happily die to fix that.
