If you were to encounter an almighty God, a futuristic hyper advanced technology, or an entity spawned from the figment of your imagination from a drug induced hallucination, and you were offered to make a wish for a superpower, what would you wish for?

After some thought, I think a good answer(for myself, at least) would be *to wish for everyone I encounter, both in/directly, to have unimaginable capacity for being patient towards me and my in/actions*. Now, I know this probably sounds like a "oh, i wish for the wrld pace :)", or "please give everyone a nice day tomorrow xoxo", but it's admittedly a bit more selfish than appears(if you couldn't tell by the exclusionary qualification "patient towards **ME**").

See, I'm not really in the top-running in any particular field where I'm almost there, but don't have it quite in the cards to ever be #1. I don't carry the burden of being 'just barely shy of gold', where there's no more training, no practice, no 'next hurdle', that will help me 'next time'; where my peak is- outside of puzzlingly unfortunate events befalling my outranking competitors & receiving genuinely bizarre external supernatural intervention in my favor- essentially "so close, yet so far". Because there's a saying that has some wisdom in a dry, almost dark flavor of humor, sort of way:
>What's the worst place you can finish in a race?
>Last?
>No, 2nd place
And I think it's funny because everyone watching the race, and everyone else in the race is presented with a view of someone achieving an impressive feat of 2nd place. But at the same time, I think it's a fairly universal experience- whether it's a defeat against another team in sports, whether it's getting outscored by another on a school test, or even just missing your previously set 'best' in a personal activity- that can attract empathy from many different sources.

Empathy, the more I think about it, is actually a true superpower when its lvling is maxed out. If you were in that same race with fully stacked empathy, and your fellow racers knew how important the match was to you, and they wanted you to win more than themselves winning, then you would probably be first to cross the finish line, even if they had to throw you across kicking and screaming.
But most of us here know that it's 'easier said than done' to provide infinite patience and perpetual forgiveness towards others and ourselves.
And while this may not be as mesmerizing as pyromancy or self-flight, and a bit less thought-provoking as to the implications of time-manipulation, I'd say one of the more appealing aspects of super-patience is that it is something that can be trained towards in our everyday world, and it does lead to tangible effects that provide beneficial results to prosper from, and just a more desirable world to inhabit.

So, if you were to choose a wishful superpower, what would you pick?
The wish's constraints are whatever you want them to be,
based plausibly in reality, or completely schizo-unhinged nonsense,
however creative you want to bend the 'choose a superpower' parameters is your call here.

I wouldn't.
I have omnipotence by proxy from God.
No need to wish for anything or change places with anyone. I'm literally an omnipotent god.

Same. Don't need dumb superpowers when the entire point of this universe is to put a clamp on that kind of behavior. If I want omnifart powers I'll go reincarnate out in Ein Sof somewhere. Oh wait, it's a total slag heap.

Flight would be cool
Eternal youth would be cool
But
The most useful, I think, would be the ability to always know exactly what to say to someone to get whatever it is I want from them, in every scenario possible

I'd wish for, when I consciously intend it, my statements to be true. Let me clarify. Such statements would not correspond to reality, instead, reality would instantly change to correspond to my statements!

You said big G, so my wish would be to have Him available any time I want or need Him to learn from Him with no delays, so that he could teach me whatever I need to learn whenever or wherever I need to learn it in the exact language I speak.
That way no matter what happens I know what I need to do.

The problem is that there is too much of what makes our existence here unpleasant or even worse.
And if the problem is systemic, what is needed is not some targeted and specialized abilities, but a multitude of tools of wide application or a completely different world order.

Many people do not quite understand that the life that is their everyday and routine is very fragile and very much subject to external factors, which a person has nothing to counter. Everything - from nature itself and the mortality inherent in evolution through degradation to artificial living conditions created by people, as a rule, contains something that will prevent a normal pleasant life and especially dependence on other people.
It's all sad.
