I asked this on my facebook. Since you guys tend to be more likeminded to myself than my non-entrepreneurial friends are I'm curious how'd you answer.

Pretend you found a genie in a bottle and he gave you three wishes. Would you wish for money or economic control? Would you wish for food to feed the starving world or the secrets to biotechnology? Would you wish for power or influence?
 


Given the choices, I'd choose the second choice each time. In each case, the first choice represents an immediate solution, whereas the second represents a long-term solution.
 
I'd wish for an absolute shitload of money and use it to progress science as quickly as possible. Cure for cancer, space exploration, etc.
 
I'd wish for the genie to make me a genie so that I have infinite wishes.
 
1. economic control
2. secrets to biotechnology
3. influence

if you have economic control you have infinite money, number 2 is like the give a man a fish eat for a day, teach him to fish he eats for a lifetime. and if you have influence you can gain any sort of power you want and still have the people love you.
 
1. Definite control over the economy!
2. A shitload of greens stashed away on my own personal island.
3. Instant Global Recognition

Id rape the world by dictating my rules. Make the world a fucking better place than it 'allegedly' is. Fund the best of research in developing universal alternatives to living. And get a heli to travel around since I wont be able to walk on the streets due to my fame and popularity for funding medical research and buying the Playboy Mansion.
 
Economic control: Bye bye federal reserve.
Secrets to biotechnology: No more aging or cancer, unless your ass is flat broke. Research isn't free, even in pipe dream.
Influence: I'll put up a curtain behind the curtain. The world's most powerful people will seek approval just to get invited to the party so exclusive that nobody is there.
 
1. economic control (Then you got the money)
2. food (I like real things - I can't imagine fucking a blow up doll (or sheep if you are a kiwi) being as satisfying as fucking a sweet pussy)
3. influence (Then you kinda got power, without the bad karma)

I'd definitely use my wishes to promote better health. Maybe get rid of cancer. Or make it so that I can drink 12 beers a day forever without any negative health consequences.

Money and other material things obviously don't mean anything if you don't have your health. And if you improve the health of others, you get the added bonus of feeling like you're a super duper awesome person. Sort of like giving to charity, on a much larger scale.
 
1. Never physically change (although I'd like to lose that 10lbs first)
2. Smartest Woman Alive.
3. ...world peace.

I really do want world peace.
 
As has been mentioned, second choice in all instances

"Give me control of a nation's money and I care not who makes the laws"
