Bro what a waste of a wish haah

If it were an evil genie it would include you as well because you didn't specify what type of "blindness" you were talking about, so the genie would make you super aware of everything you are not aware of, or blind, and if you don't go mad from the Revelation, you'd probably go on living, knowing that there is a reality beyond the one you perceive daily, and fall in utter despair. Your only relief would be that you are not alone now, as the rest of humanity shares your same fate.

good thing i have two more wishes, and that the dumb genie just granted me all the knowledge and enlightenment i need to avoid having them backfire

You've forgotten it all. Only a vague shadow remains, an awareness it's out there, but permanently closed off to you. Enough for lifelong dissatisfaction, but not enough to gain real useful insight.

Why did I wait the full 30 seconds to make my next wish? Once I had the full realization of the cosmos in my mind, it's time to make a better wish #2.
