strange question #1

hi everybody and welcome to the first installment of my strange questions series. In this series, i will ask really strange but meaningful questions and you would reply, and then i would reply. and we can share our wisdom, if only for strange questions...

ok here we go...

our first strange question is:

if there is a person with absurd intelligence and ability and confidence, effectively allowing him to achieve anything he/she wants but only what he/she wants, not even the things he/she wants to wants, or anything you want her/him to want, but only what he/she truly wants. To give you an example, this guy/girl once had aids, he/she therefore worked very hard as a biologist and found a cure for aids, whereupon she cured herself and obviously the world too, since it wanst much extra effort. OK, so we now know what this guy/girl can do. OK, lets say we want something that we know can definitely be achieved with the supernormal intelligence and confindence of this remarkable individual. The question is: should we manipulate her/his wants to satisfy our own?

I would say yes, but it would be unethical. I guess at times the practical view of things can go above ethics.

For all I care, yes.

Whilst it is unethical, history has it that people has been servants. Why not let her serve me?
