PERSON: "I am the genie of the lamp, i will grant you any three wishes! "

PERSON: "We should wish for infinite knowledge, so we will know exactly how to use the final two wishes."

PERSON: "Three wishes! As philosophers, we should really think this through."

PERSON: "Why don't we just wish for infinite wishes?"

PERSON: "We don't even know if that's possible!"

PERSON: "No we should wish for infinite virtue, so we don't squander the final two wishes immorally."

PERSON: "If you have infinite knowledge you already have infinite virtue, because fully knowing what is best you will want to do it."

PERSON: "Does not!"

PERSON: "Oh really? Genie, my first wish is to know whether infinite knowledge necessarily gives infinite virtue."

PERSON: "It does not."

PERSON: "See! I told you."

PERSON: "Does to!"

PERSON: "Okay fine, for our next wish, i want to know if wishing for infinite knowledge is a waste of a wish."

PERSON: "Huge waste. What is your final wish?"

PERSON: "Dang. We should have wished for infinite money, they we could have just bought knowledge and virtue."

PERSON: "Uh...infinite wishes."

PERSON: "Granted. However, by definition this is your final wish, so the infinite chain extends only into the past."

PERSON: "or ininitely small desire, so we wouldn't want money."

PERSON: "That's the dumbest thing i ever heard."
