      Nah, of the things pictured I’d go with money and find love the old-fashioned way.

        Being Superman is probably the best. Functionally immortal, perfect disguise is just 1 pair of glasses away so you can still find love, hold the world hostage for unlimited money you can move through a swiss bank.

            Then you fly to mars or any other planet in the universe

            Edit: well not any planet, but at least any planet in our galaxy our yellow sun galaxies

              Wait a second… if Superman needs a yellow sun for his powers, and each galaxy is like, reeaalllyyy far away, then wouldn’t he run out of sun energy shortly after leaving our galaxy?

              I mean, assuming that I only have the features of Superman but real world physics still applies, everything is so fucking far away and as far as we can see, there’s nothing out there. Like yeah, I could spend a few years observing stuff like black holes, stars etc. from upclose but I generally get bored with repetitive stuff.

        Once you have a ton of money how do you separate true love from people who just want to be around you for your money? Look at the personal lives of billionaires. These are highly dysfunctional people.

          True love won’t solve life’s problems either, lol. Dysfunctional people will dysfunction. I say money, so that you can afford therapy.

          I mean, I wasn’t thinking billionaire level of money. But even if I was, you don’t have to disclose you’re a billionaire when going on a date.

          I feel like professional match makers would be the best way. You get the personalized touch of a real person, and have an intermediary if things go bad.

        Good choice finding love the old-fashioned way.

        Though I think there are better wishes to make than just money, it’s understandable out of the options here.

        Love is better than money, of course, but probably not from a wishing well.

    Just saying, the loving wife he just spawned in would probably gladly use her wish on whatever he wants too.

    just wish to have perfect disguises then disguise yourself as a different customer.

    if it’s a good wishing well it shall be fooled, as you asked for perfect disguise

      I find this comic weird. If the woman is his true love, then he would love her more than anything. Either the well failed at the wish or it can only make a wish that can come true at a single moment but not forever(like ending world hunger would only be solved for the moment but not in the future). Either way, I think the last panel should have the guy falling head over heels in love with her as that was the wish he had made.

    Have philosophers managed to put together a universal best wish?

    The best thing I can think of is: true and abiding justice for all of humanity.

    I’m sure there’s a monkey’s paw in there somewhere, but I feel like it would potentially have the best outcome for as many people as possible?

      So vague, what does “true” justice even mean? If I was an evil genie well, I would make you regret that wish.

      Wish for omnipotence. Now you can do whatever you want. Now that you have that, make yourself incrementally smarter so you can better define smart each time. Become indestructible, but not like a super strong dead piece of metal like that asshole well would’ve done. Then transform the human race into a spacefaring utopian, post scarcity society where your new smartass self defines what that is. Basically become a real benevolent god.
