Knowing all things. That's what that means.

Now would it be useful to know all things ever? The future and past. Of everything, every person. You would know EVERYTHING. Would you enjoy it?

There would be no element of surprise, no discovery, no enjoyment of relationships. Just. . .knowledge you can give out to those that are infinitely your inferior. What would you do with that knowledge?

EDIT: You would also know if there was a heaven or hell. Which religion was the "true" one, or if there was anything at all.

It would be hell.

Knowing the day you die.
The day your loved ones will die.
The exact manor you will die in.

I would act wise like an old man. But I don't wanna know EVERYTHING. My brain can't take all of that. Plus there are somethings I don't want to know

It would be all-encompassing boredom when your knowledge is so vast, it trumps the very realm of Science. What's to learn anymore? Nothing!

It would help me predict Stock market value in the future?
I'd be stinking rich!

Living would be boring. Then again, you could save lives, change the future.

With infinite knowledge comes boredom, nothing would surprise you.

I would never accept such power. It would drive me even more mad than I am...

Information overload? the horror....


Humans can only endure a fraction of it. Knowing everything takes away the thrill.

Altering the future that you know will happen is impossible right? You already know what will happen, so if a person is going to die by a train, you can't save them because you already know it is going to happen with your infinite knowledge, and since you know for a fact it's going to happen then how would you stop it? If you stopped it then your insight with your infinite knowledge would be wrong.

Nohohohoho, no, no, no, no, no, no. There would be far too many things in your head. It would make life a nightmare. It would probably make someone go insane.

Boredom couldn't even begin to describe the feeling. It would be. . .empty. You would know how little you matter.

You'd know exactly where the money would go, what had to happen to make stock market change.

Would you even want to? You would have every single scenario already laid out. There wouldn't be "changing the future" you would simply make the real one happen.

I like knowledge and getting smarter, but that'd be too much. I'd rather stay flawed being than a pseudo-perfect being.

I think it'd be like knowing every alternative universe caused by every decision, you couldn't handle it being human, basically an immeasurable level of knowledge, not just what is but what was, will be, and what could have been.

It would definitely drive most people crazy. I couldn't even think of what i'd do with my life after that, maybe cure some stuff like cancer and AIDs, just whatever the best future for humans I could foresee (you'd know everything so you'd make the right choice every time)

no wonder Dr. Manhattan lost touch with humans if he saw his own past and future already XD

It isn't all that bad when you get glimpses of the future

It'd be pretty cool since you'd be able to pawn all cod matches, but overall, it's not that great.

Never. I prefer surprises and not knowing what's gonna happen.

Or knowing how you'll die and what to do to stop it. Seriously, being Omniscient would be cool. It'd be like we could see into the future.

People are talking like the Internet isn't Omniscence in itself, and yet we don't get bored, many still look and laugh at the same moronic cat pictures.

I would love to know all and everything, I would be able to look at things differently and embrace all things with equality, at the same damn time, imagine that.

With my knowledge I would groom the perfect leader and through him/her make the world a better place.
