    Infinite wishes situation : upgrade your brain such that you are sufficiently smart to bio-engineer all the other organs.

      Does happiness increase or decrease with intelligence? What if your brain upgrade becomes an emotional downgrade?

          Looked it up. Seems there happiness does not decrease with intelligence. I would have assumed the more intelligence you have the more capacity to understand and worry about problems you would have.

            I would have assumed the more intelligence you have the more capacity to understand and worry about problems you would have.

            Intelligence gives you the ability to understand these things, and can also give you the understanding that worrying about the things you can’t change is of no benefit and the ability to then put those things aside so you can focus on changing the things you can improve.

            That doesn’t always come naturally, but it’s a valuable thing to practice.

    I would upgrade my brain to be able to consciously control all the little automatic stuff. Tell my brain to up the metabolic rate when I want to burn more fat, increase heart rate when exercising, basically to be able to consciously control all functions of my body at will.

      I can hear slightly higher frequencies than most, or at least I used to be able to. Back when TVs used cathode ray tubes I’d have problems with the small portable TVs because they would emit an annoying high pitched tone. Even high pitched tones unintentionally mixed into records. The world is designed for people with typical senses.

    Brain is a no-brainer. It’s okay as it is, but having an optimal one sounds terrific

    One of:

    • eyes to see a wider spectrum of light (infrared to gamma-ray)
    • ears to increase sensitivity or reduce it close to 0 a will
    • nose to smell all dangerous stuff that is odourless (carbon monoxide f.e.)
    • muscles not to lose training after a few days (I am not sure that wouldn’t fuck up methabolism)
    • have an organ to catch radiowaves (while being capable to switch it off)
    • brown fat cells to never feel cold (with added super bonus that they also kill cancer by starving it)
    • liver to remove toxins without being easily damaged

    The choice is difficult :)

    Gosh, only thing I can think of is self-repairing telomeres.

    Everything else is perfect, might as well live for hundreds of years.

    Having a bigger dick is overrated. Great for fantasy, but very impractical.

    I’d upgrade my lungs to be better filters and oxygenate my blood. My immune system to fight diseases my efficiently (turn it into a scalpel rather than a cluster-nuke). My brain to retain it’s learning capabilities well into my later years. Completely overhaul my metabolism so that I won’t have to do heavy exercise to get good muscles (really, all that exercise just exists to make one chemical reaction happen).

    After that, then, only then, might I consider doing something with my dick. Though perhaps more with my balls, so I can just switch off the reproductive capabilities to ensure safe sex.

    I’d like to upgrade my penis into super penis, two barrels, break action instead of the pump action, then I’ll create a new sex act called “Quakeing”, where you strafe around your sexual partner while constantly ejaculating on them with your super penis.

      You want a break action penis, so you have to manually reload every couple of shots? Nah, you want belt fed, just hold the trigger and go!

    Can I just say “my immune system”? That’d prevent all kinds of diseases and make you cancer proof!
