Emotional Intimacy Question: Wishing

[ysabetwordsmith]

Folks have mentioned an interest in questions and conversations that make them think. So I've decided to offer more of those. This is the current list.

19. If a genie granted you three wishes right now, what would you wish for?

1. I wish you free.

Djinn are spirits of air and fire.

They thrive in deserts.

Climate change is driving desertification.

So it's kind of like djinniforming instead of terraforming.

One of the most common wishes is for absurd amounts of wealth.

Demanding wishes of enslaved djinn ends badly.

Suppose that people have been wishing for wealth, and the djinn have been saying, "Yes, Master. Drill right here ... and here ... and here ..."

Knowing all the while that removing fossil fuels from the ground will make a world better for djinn to inhabit, and worse for humans to inhabit.

I think nobody really wants the Sahara, but what if djinn don't either? What if they want to go live somewhere cold so they can cool their hot blood? The Andes has some really nice, high altitude desert. And the rains there due to climate shift has killed off even the *soil bacteria* that had been surviving there.

Nobody is gonna fight them for it. They could have a homeland, and humans can expand the djinns' borders as we fuck up our planet. It might even cause us to give enough of a crap to fix this mess.
