If you could obtain total knowledge... would it destroy you?

All the movies and TV shows where people get 3 wishes from a genie or whatever..... and they always ask for money or women or stupid shite.

Why does nobody ever ask for knowledge? Knowledge of God/No God. Knowledge of the secrets of the universe. Knowledge of the basis of life. Knowledge of "why are we here." Knowledge of whether Jesus was real. Who kllled JFK. Why do people like rap. Total truth.

It would probably destroy the average human.

I'm already smart. I'd rather have more money.

If you knew everything, if you knew the far reaching outcomes of all your actions, you'd be rendered near incapacitated because of all the unseen consequences.

Pretty sure there's an old story like that, people on an island who do nothing because they know the outcome will eventually be bad.

I want the knowledge of how to get into every woman's pants. How is that for a goal?

because knowledge doesn't have a big dick or a billion dollars.

I'd ask for the best fantasy Defense for 2017.

Or total knowledge.

You are right about the 3 wishes. People in movies and fables suck at this. I'd go for knowledge of the past and future, ability to time-travel, and invincibility to injury.

I would want it because it would give me power and power is more valuable than money and I would rule the world.

I have been hanging around the OT a few years - you mean I don't have it?

Because those are stories and writers want their stories to be interesting. Money, wishes, love; those are topics that interest the masses.

This is a good one.

I would go back and invest in a bunch of stock that will end up doing really well and bet on games.. knowing the outcome.. So I would be able to generate my own wealth. Then I would also try to change certain events in history just to see how it would change society.

If you had all knowledge, you would know many of those women have reasons not to get into their pants.

The more I've learned since my early twenties, the less I wish I'd known. Ignorance is bliss.

yep...it would destroy most people. even simple stuff like how and when you and each of your loved ones will die would destroy most people.

I sold my soul to the devil, and the price was cheap
And yo it's cold on this level 'cause it's twice as deep
But you don't hear me, ignorance is bliss and so on
Sometimes it's better to be thought dumb
Shall I go on

You don't want the real, what the deal is a mystery
How is it I can live & make history
If you don't see it, then it wasn't meant for you to see
If you wasn't born with it, it wasn't meant for you to be
