    The printers at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing run wild printing money; the Federal Reserve distributes the money across the country. Hyperinflation like the United States has never seen drives the prices of goods and services up 90%. The $100 tacos now cost $1000. You may still choose to purchase them, however:

    90% of $100 is $90. So the tacos are $190, or $1.90 each. Still a solid deal.

      Could you spread all the empathy across everyone evenly, and then increase it by about 10%?

      Realistically, this just means draining the 1-2 people with empathy (Jane Goodall and... that's probably it?) and spreading it across 8 billion people.

          All the empathy in the world (+10%) is spread "evenly" to one person at a time, randomly, every minute of the day:

          I said spread, not share. One would not consider peanut butter spread on bread if you put it in one glob and then picked up and moved the glob somewhere else.

                      Okay, let's try this.

                      Every single human being, gradually, develops empathy and awareness to how their choices affects themselves and others.

                      This is to happen over a period of a year and will not lead people to despair but to understand the poor choices they have made throughout their lives and lead them to live better lives, with no malice arbored towards others and themselves.

                      This effect will include the granter of this wish.

                          Everyone can now shape-shift into a perfect copy of any other person that they've seen. Society collapses due to lack of trust. (You said everyone can "now" and "this has always been". Hence, rewriting history was a second wish.)

                                          If things improve around you, you’re benefitted yourself. Pay attention.

                                          Yeah, but you're going to have to put in the work to empathize with us to understand what you've put us through. So it will be pretty obvious to everyone you made the wish because you'll be having to think through answers to questions about empathy that will be trivial to everyone else. You have a few months to practice, you should get started. I think this will be a good exercise in empathy for you as you wont have a crutch.

                                          And there is no temporary clause in what I stated.

                                          You never said for how long.

                                          People undergo the process during the lenght of a year. The outcome permanence is not dependent of that window of time.

                                          Yes, so the wish can end as soon as the minimum duration you specified ends.
