Reduce atmospheric CO2 to pre-industrial levels
"SEE! We told you the problem would fix itself! Now we don't need to take any action to better ourselves for the sake of the environment!"
Luckily you thought of that and using your third wish, you can fix it properly.
Infinite wishes
Fool! I wish for infinite wishes plus one!

Motivation to complete anything I decide to do.

General happiness with life.

Fix global environment/emissions to stable levels.
Fix ignorance/hate
Fix capitalism & greed
A monkeys paw mechanic for everyone in this thread except for me, the annullment of my own bodily needs (eg. sleep, food, water), and i dunno, maybe a cool rock
You are later crushed by your cool rock. Not because of a monkey paw but everybody else is so mad they drop it on you.
Haw haw reverse uno I use my monkey paw wish to wish the same upon to you also cool rock

Immortality.

Infinite wishes.
Universal healthcare
Capitalism and authoritarianism eradicated
Everyone's medical and student debt wiped
-
Infinite positive-effects-only wishes (what I consider to be positive)
-
Everyone now has empathy and selflessness, eliminating corruption, greed, stepping over each other, exploitation, etc.
-
Post-scarcity society, eliminating class even more than the above, since everyone can own whatever they want. Basically a real life Replicator.
-
Since I got infinite wishes, given number 3, society will have an even bigger trash problem than we already have. So a convenient, self-contained black hole we can put trash into, inventing a method of creating dark matter, revolutioning how we store energy, Futurama-style, which then becomes free due to post-scarcity.
-
Healthy planet, healthy people, healthy animals, plants, etc. Also includes mental health (infinite wishes are nice)
A replicator solves the trash problem, you just throw the trash in the replicator and it breaks it down to build stuff.
I choose you to get the wishes. Your list is my list. I don't wish for immortality - since I had kids, I'm disqualified. But 10x the lifespan with hundreds of years feeling like I do now, that would be nice, and with the replicator technology (who will get the manual on how to service these) the carrying capacity of the earth should be higher.
My own General Systems Vehicle complete with a holodeck lol.
Immortality via transfer of consciousness into permanent artificial bodies for me, my wife, and our dog.
All humans will become much more proactive and thus don't put up with corporate or government bullshit.
Two chicks at the same time
Not sure about the third wish
That’s … that’s what you’d do with three wishes? Two chicks at the same time? Couldn’t you do that without three wishes?

what's the monkey paw mechanic I'm confused
In a short story, the monkey's paw is an artifact that grants three wishes of the person who holds it, albeit in the worst way possible.
The story goes that a pensioner and his wife receive the paw from some guy who warns them that the paw twists the wishes, but they pay the warning no mind and wish for a sum of money. A finger on the paw curls, and a factory foreman shows up with the money explaining that their son has died of a horrific mutilating accident in the factory. The insurance policy pays the money out to the surviving members of the family.
The wife wishes that their son were alive again, another finger curls, and a few hours later they hear another knock at the door. The wife rushes to welcome their son, however, recalling the stranger's warning and imagining how terrifying the mutilated body of their son might look, the father uses the last finger to wish the son dead and buried again. Incidentally, there doesn't appear to be a negative on that wish apart from the horror that's already been visited on them.
I wish you hadn’t asked that
Fix the environmental and ecological collapse, end bigotry, the ability to shapeshift
- For learning to be easier for everyone, so humanity can grow wiser.
- For kind acts to extend people's lives, so humanity will grow kinder.
- For the afterlife to be as perfect as promised, so we can see them again after a life of kind wisdom.
