For those who don’t know, a Monkey Paw Wish is when you get your wish granted, but in an unexpected usually negative way.
Example:
- I wish human caused global warming would stop.
- It does, but because WW3 leads to Nuclear Winter.
The question here though, is what wish would you be willing to take even though it’ll get monkey paw’d?
So basically you don’t care if the consequences, or would be willing to take the sacrifice for it.
Others can come up with the negative scenarios if they want and the original wisher can decide if it’s still worth it

You just described
- The situation for many Americans
- A situation that’s still an improvement for the country’s 650,000 homeless
- A situation that’s really still not worse for the ultra-rich, who can afford to hire peasants to custom-build their homes to whatever quality they want
- It doesn’t harm the wisher, who doesn’t own a home and so wouldn’t lose an investment from a market collapse.
It’s a nice try, but it’s going to have to be a far worse consequence to really make them want to take the wish back.
