yes, I am aware that human “concepts” are acting as a big multiplier on how much you can wish for in a small number of words. But I want to know whether certain wishes make better use ir worse use of this, and I want toget some idea of exactly how much more a human can feasibly wish for.
I think that by using established human concepts to make a wish (“I want to understand and solve all current scientific problems”), you are able to constrain the future more, but you have less understanding of what you’ll actually get. You trade in some safety and get more mileage.
