      … As long as you make your next wish to make your own change permanent, in such a way that a genie can’t trick you, sure!

      The question is what do you do with your last wish, now that you contain all the knowledge of the cosmos.

      Maybe there IS a way to wish for infinite wishes without it backfiring on you.

      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.
