    Do you tell everyone?

    Is this a hypothetical situation?


    In that case, no I would not tell everyone. Knowledge is power and knowing everything would make me extremely valuable and powerful, so I'd keep it to myself and provide incentives for people to obey me.

    There is no point to having all of the knowledge in the world if you have no one to share it with. Just like having all the money in the world and no where to spend it.

    The latter is a different situation. Money requires trade, knowledge does not, to be valuable.


    I would keep it to myself and use it to strategically gain power and influence, keeping the most valuable secrets secrets

    People hate me now for what & how much I know. If I knew everything, they'd probably tar&feather me & maroon me on an island.

    There's a reason I didn't say if I meant would you tell everyone you knew everything and would you tell everyone everything you know. Answer whichever one you want to.

    I'd probably advance the world medically, then take over the world, entrust all of my knowledge in one person, and then live my life doing whatever follows truth.

    No, you go crazy with the burden of Knowledge making it impossible to output your new found wealth of knowledge any better than most of the worst case scenario deranged woo-woo's.

    LOL. It's a false pretext. If you knew everything from when you first became self aware, then what would you contrast your altruism or materialism against. You'd likely be bored shitless of always being right! and justifiably either develop foibles and psychoses just to ensure that you could get on with the exciting sometimes right, sometimes wrong everyday people or withdraw completely and despise your power. If however like lottery, you won this knowledge against a background of struggle, poverty or mediocrity, then now you're talking serious fun and consequences with the new power

    I would keep it to myself and use it to take over the world. Whats the point in letting everybody use unlimited knowledge when you can use it to your own advantage.

    I would maybe share small amounts with the right people, like give medicinal advancement knowledge to scientists and ways to cure illness. I would keep the military weapons knowledge to myself. Use my new found wisdom to make myself the richest man on earth, by my own country or continent with my trillions of gold coins then fund the most effective military ever see and take control of the world.

    After taking control of this planet I would construct a spacecraft which can travel so fast it makes light look like a snail on morphine, then the universe would be mine.

    If god does not exist I would make myself god, and if god does exist I will wage war on him next.

    peace.

    Knowledge isn't wisdom.
