I wish for the strength of constitution that will allow me to live a moral life. I feel that i would not have any worries as long as i'm doing the right thing, that it would bring me great wealth, and great knowledge, and I would also be very healthy if I did what was right for my body all the time despite the temptation of gustatory pleasures. Even though I wouldnt live forever, I would live longer, and death would not bother me. Why death should not bother one is an entirely different topic altogether, I dont believe in an afterlife, but in a way I can be sort of metaphorically immortal through a metaphoric soul (ask me about that some other time). Oh yeah, and as for wanting a girlfriend back: I wouldn't have that problem either. so uhh, not to brag or anything.... but your wishes just got pwned by mine. yep, strength to always doing the right thing and help in knowing what that is.
lead me not into temptation, but deliever me from evil. amen.

Luci4,
I've noticed that you are replying to some fairly old threads. If the conversations/participants still have some life in them then I'd say its all good, but it seems that you may be talking to a bit of a void. If you don't get any other response, I'd hope you'd consider some more current (under a year) threads, or perhaps consider starting some of your own. I'm not so sure what your problem with "sinners" as your profile seems to declare. We do have sins and virtues, and I'd tend to say that we all sin and yet also know virtue as well and tend to view humanity on the same terms. We are after all transhumanists and so if we accept the necessity for change we must accept our sins in addition to our virtues otherwise there would be no real context in which to navigate change. Change without such an ethical compass would otherwise be pointless if not blindly harmful.

I wish to maximize the integral of my Q (quality of subjective experience) over time. I realize that may be considered cheating, essentially asking for an infinite number of wishes filtering out the ones that would have bad outcomes. Still I'm wondering how an evil genie could find a loophole that would make me regret my wish. Any ideas?
