I'd rephrase and ask "where is the most similarly advanced - relative to humans- intelligent life outside the solar system.

I wanna weed out all the low hanging fruit and find folks we might have a chance of talking to at some point.

Why not “what specifically should scientists focus on to develop functional near or faster than light space travel?” Then people can just go check where the aliens are or are not!

All dogs

Might get stuck with a small payout.

"What are the winning numbers for the next lottery drawing with a payout of over $500 million?"

Does knowing the numbers actually help? Don't you have to then go find the correct ticket?

:+

The 'why or why not' makes it 2 questions.

fuck yes, mine too

"This is impossible. Goodbye."

Asking a loaded question doesn't automatically make the premise true.

The genie or whatever the hell it is then tells you what you should have asked in order to get unlimited questions, and then disappears forever.

Life long education, as time passes you will encounter unlimited questions and also with time you will develop more correct answers than you did previously.

Monkey's paw: You get the numbers but miraculously 10,000 other people also get the winning numbers.

You get the answer - the day after, on Wednesday. I don't see any time-guarantee in the statement.

The physical processes themselves are the so-called subjective conscious experience in a way that cannot be better described by an abstraction.
There's no such thing as a conscious experience without physical processes and no hard-line difference between different physical reactions that would differentiate consciousness and non-consciousness.

somebody will argue that consciousness was there first and the whole body + brain is actually kind of a dream ...

(not how i view it though. i have a different answer)

my answer is that consciousness does not emanate from the brain at all, but from the fact that we are alive. in other words, i believe that consciousness is a property that many or all forms of life have evolved to have because/as long as it is advantageous to them. this view is called "existentialism" btw. things derive from the fact that we exist (as living beings).

Then you know what to do and get even more frustrated seeing governments all over the world ignore your advice.

"Plague."

As long as you like but it's not valuable anymore.

Be yourself

You have to ask for the proof otherwise noone will believe you

Repeatability is key in science.

Are you Chidi Anagoñe?

"No, it is not."

That's why you get 1.

I detect that your question is:

"Which question among those questions is the best?"

Answer: the one with the billion species.

Goodbye!

God: "okay, listen carefully because I'll just read it once."

"Yep"

OK

From the whole planet? Here they come all in one string:

1,2,3,5,6,8,9,11,12,....... ,49

Monkey's paw: You get the answer but you are also granted immortality.

Now. Poof. /s

I could see a Genie doing that and being smug.

You sure you want that?

How come? Want to do stupid stuff?

"You die in 50 years..."

5 seconds later...

"Unfortunately in about 10 seconds after you receive the answer, you accidentally fall as you are jumping up and down celebrating, you hit your head and you're in a coma until you get cut off 50 years later and officially die"

...

The End

Sleepily ever after...

Can you give me the exact locations of all lost civilizations?

Yes.

Goodbye.

Why not ask for the next 1000 too?
