Poll: You Have a Choice

[Eggsnham]

Option #1. You can have the ability to know everything, except for the answer of how to find the way around the limitation. If anyone asks you about your knowledge, or you try to tell about you knowledge on the great unknowns i.e. God, religion etc. Your tongue will swell, your throat will close, your fingers will break and your toes will curl, if you try.


Option #2. On the other hand, you could choose to not be physically or mentally able to learn anything from this moment forward for the rest of your life (you'll keep what you know, you just won't be able to learn anything new), but be completely happy, calm, and level headed in any situation, for the rest of your life.

Option #3. You could also choose to kill yourself right at that moment.

You must choose one of these options.

EDIT: Some of y'all clever folks have found a way around my simpleminded question, damn. I'll have to fix that.

 

[delet]

Option 3 as long as I get to choose how I die. Knowing too much makes for a horrid existance and though I'd be happy in my blissful ignorance, I like learning...

 

[Frequen-Z]

Option 1. When it comes around to that sort of question, I'll just tell them I cannot answer it and send them on their way.

 

[Nivag the Owl]

Easily option 1. I don't see what would be wrong with knowing what might as well be everything you could ever want to know. I don't have to go around bragging about knowing everything ever, and so it would be perfectly easy just to not answer the great unknowns.

 

[Generator]

Option 1. Though it would be hard to live with that kind of knowledge, I think I have the ego to match it.

 

[Johnnyallstar]

option 1, and I never talk to anybody ever again

 

[Uncreative]

Option 1, easy.
That's pretty much the formula for every mysterious wiseman/woman ever.

 

[jpoon]

Option 1, I'll just be a bastard about answering the unknowable...

 

[Robert632]

Option 1, because I'd still know a way around the limitaion, as I know everything.

 

[electric_warrior]

option 1, I just wouldn't answer them. or write it all in a book, there's no rule against that is there?

 

[SamuelT]

Option one. With that much knowledge, it'd be easy to figure a way around that. And I love my life, and information, too much to let it escape me right there and then.

 

[drisky]

Option 1, not only can I just not answer the question, but I can just say it before they ask sense its not technically a reply, easy choice.

 

[RobThePrezodent]

Omniscience means you also know a way around that particular limitation.

or it could mean that you know there is no way around that limitation.
OP: probably option 2; complete happiness for the rest of my life doesnt sound too bad

 

[Indecizion]

option 1 if i knew everything i wouldnt tell any of you anyway

 

[Burningsok]

option 1 for me. option 2 is stupid, I want to learn new things at times. not being able learn anything new that could be very useful later in life would probably make me very unhappy.

 

[AloriD]

Option 3. Infinite knowledge is useless if you can't share it. Blissful ignorace is bad if you want to learn. I could not live my life either way.

 

[rokkolpo]

i like option 2

being happy and cool with it is all you need, i bet with what i know right now i can still play instruments by things i have already heard or seen.

and knowing everything will make life suck,not to keen on suicide either. (and 1 will definitly lead to 3)

 

[Pimppeter2]

Option 1.

I would just write it down

 

[Aeshi]

Option 1.I could use my newfound knowledge to become very wealthy

 

[rokkolpo]

Option 1.

I would just write it down

to what point?
earth will be boring once we have all the answers.

we will be vulcans. trapped in logic and facts.
