What's the consensus on genies performing magic for their masters outside of the three wishes?
In Disney's Aladin, the genie could be tricked into performing extra magic, but he seemed not to like to. Does it hurt him or something? He seemed to enjoy it. Hell, he was singing uptempo show tunes and jabbering like a cocaine addict throughout.
It's not like after wish 3, he earned his freedom. He could have easily brokered a deal with a master where he grants 2 wishes, 10 more under the table, and then the 3rd official one is to set him free.

The Genies union is opposed to it. They consider it to be akin to working unpaid overtime.
You'd honestly want to outlive anyone you care about? And even if you find more people to care about, you'd outlive them, until the point where you live in complete solitude?

You'd live forever, this is a grand concept. No fear of death or disease. You outlive other people? Meh its ok you'll never see your own death! And you'll get to play duke nukem forever.

I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.
why didn't Aladdin just wish for something obvious, like a harem and all the blow the genie had stashed in the lamp
Seriously. Wish stories that try and teach you a moral are dumber then dumb.
Wish 1: I wish I knew the truth about religion
- Kind of a wasted wish but there are three and you have to cover all your bases here
Wish 2: I wish I were invulnerable to all harm - physical, aging, senility, lack of oxygen, lack of food
- If all religions are entirely false and this is it, you can't argue with this wish.
Wish 3: I wish I could will myself to travel in any direction, at any speed.
- Wishing for money is a waste. Go for a really general superpower that encompasses flying, space travel and, with the any speed clause, the breaking of who knows how many physical laws. Teamed with invulnerability, this also creates a kind of super strength, using your invincible body as a battering ram.
It might get lonely being the only immortal, invulnerable super person. Heh, probably not.

I'm pretty glad I'm not rich guys. Imagine how stressful it would be to have all that cash.

Even disregarding that, I figure you'd not want to be immortal because of the inevitable collapse to insanity.

I'd only worry about other dudes hunting my head, but once I hook up with Adrian Paul that wouldn't be a problem.

Well if human beings ever became immortal I would hope everyone had access to it.
But if I could be immortal even if I was the only one I would absolutely still do it. Friends aren't special people, you will always eventually lose friends and find new ones. It's the same way with a lover. There is no singular soul mate on the planet, there are potentially hundreds or thousands.
So yes, I would risk loneliness if I could live forever and be in a position to learn everything there was to know and to experience everything that existed. How amazing would it be to experience the end of the universe itself?

I'd wish for the ability to violate the second law of thermodynamics.

For me, the most obvious wish is for the wisdom and ability to use my remaining two wishes in the best possible way.

That would only get you sitting in a big bowl of milk with the curds removed.
"And we now return to Caged Anus forcible rape 5."
"OH GOD NO NO!"

I gather that's been a common reaction among aspies
AM I not getting a reference to something?

It was wonderful; he really blew a gasket
You would be making your two remaining wishes in the best possible whey.
Go die
Ahh aspie, its my favorite term. Next to cuntburger and swamp donkey.
pleasepaypreacher.net
I really wonder what the other two would be.
I would wish for the ability to speak all languages, because it seems pretty impossible for me to get in a non-genie fashion.
Not to be swedish, and a functioning us government "Ahh fuck kid I grant wishes not miracles".

Seriously? "An easily understood, obtained, and controlled method of obtaining 100% efficient and productive energy" would be my first choice.
Yeah definately immortality, the world peace one would end up with you being the only person on earth...
