This is a weak story. It even says the genie is supposed to screw with the wishes, but then apparently doesn't. The only point of the story is to state some sci-fi fantasies about improving human life, and these aren't very illuminating. Concerning the ethical statements (selfishness is foolish and will lead to disaster) of the jinn, it might be interesting to see a jinn story about an altruist that gets 3 wishes and how those lead to disaster. Of course, real-life history is full of that.
