yes, why? because I would then have total power. once you know everything you then have the opportunity to change anything because you will know how to.

true, but If you used psychology to make everyone want to protect you because you are their saviors then you would be able to go unharmed.

If you knew everything, why should you live?  Life is a learning experience, and you could not have that if you knew everything.

Well, if you knew it all, then you'd know how to get people to follow you, and you'd know how to deal with the mob.

maybe some people would plain just not like you because you have to much power.

Essentially, you are asking if I would like to be God.  Yes, being God is basically my version of nirvana.

What would it matter, no one would believe you. It would be essentially useless.

Being all-powerful would be boring. I suppose I would shrivel up and die or something.

Smart people can't do daily stuff though, look at Einstein, fucking genius and he doesn't know how to make a cup of coffee... Also married to his cousin.

Even if you knew everything, you wouldn't necessarily be smart. You would just be the most educated person ever. We could take all the knowledge in the universe and pump it into Homer Simpson, but he wouldn't know what the hell to do with it.

Knowing everything and telling no one would be the key here. Think up some neat things, make the money and have fun knowing everything

hell yeah i'd want to know everything.   if i knew everything i could solve, or make propositions to solve, so many of the worlds problems.  i could put in action a plan to reduce the amount of people in poverty or help fight starvaition or come up with cures for diseases.  and if you ask where the money for these projects would come from, remember i know every think so i could invent something sweet, make billions, and put that towards my own goals of making the world a little more friendly.

to not want to know everything would be selfish.  ignorance is bliss, you'd be happy in your own little world but every one else would suffer without you gaining ultimate knowlege....provided you use it for good.....

Any moral doctor would be happy for the lives that would be saved. Sure, he'll probably feel like he wasted his life, but don't you think saving millions of people from going through the agony of chemotherapy and a slow, painful death is more important that the feelings of some researchers?

I do.
