    It’s really a shame that we have a state in my country named Ohio, but not one named Obyeo. So that would be my wish. For my country to have an Obyeo.

    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.

    That people were magically able to understand, sympathise and accept other people’s lives and lived experiences. A world where everyone was accepted as who they are, as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone.

  • The power to choose, just before dying, to come back to life as a healthy 30 y/o.

    But you probably meant only selfless acts allowed, hence the “sacrifice” verbiage. In that case, instantaneous worldwide post-scarcity society. That’d address most of the world’s ills, eventually. Being ultra-rich means nothing in post-scarcity; not needing Middle-East oil and African mineral resources would eliminate most international meddling in those locations. While it wouldn’t immediately address climate change or cure all diseases, it’d mean enough food and energy for everyone, and it’d give us the means to accomplish these.

    If so many of us weren’t spending all our time working just to feed, clothe, and house ourselves, we could accomplish much as a species.

    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
