      If anything “Using violence to fix the world” would be the better thing to be good at since it protects you from the Monkey Paw to a certain extent. Exceptions:

      • a “fixed” world being one devoid of humans
      • a “fixed” world panning out in the opposite way you imagined (everyone is equally miserable instead of happy for example)

        Everyone being equally miserable could be preferable to some people being happy, since it gives everybody equal reasons to work towards improving the situation… Except, of course, the monkey paw would ensure that wouldn’t pan out
