    It’s definitely a trap. All that knowledge would probably overfill your brain and overwrite parts, making you an insane halfzombie without a friend.

    If he’s still a corporeal form, there aint no way he has all the knowledge of the universe.

    A friend of mine once told me this story. She was very much trying to do good in school, including studying a lot to do good at the final exams. Her dad had cancer at the time and the prognosis was he’d last till August or so. He died in May. She was devastated. She said she’d rather have spent time with her dad before he passed away than study for the stupid school. Her plan was to study, finish school in June and then spend time with her dad. The universe had other plans. Just a story from real life.

    isn’t it paradoxical? all the knowledge means you now have an infinitely detailed image of the friend, you know how to create a look-alike human with same dna’s and know how to flash the image to the new human. thus you’ve recreated the friend while keeping the knowledge.

      Only if that is possible. It is not a god cheat code. In fact even if something is possible it does not mean it is practical or doable in ones lifetime

      Gax takes your imaginary friend by taking your imagination. You can’t think of any way to use the knowledge you’ve acquired. Shame.

    All the knowledge in the universe sounds like a privacy crisis.

    Is test. No-one willing to trade a friend should be given such knowlege freely. Conversely, no-one should bear such a burden alone.

    Can we break it up among my friend-group with a decent bit of overlap? Except for the moral hazard stuff; Break that up among us into the smallest, least coherent bits possible.

    I think there’s too many things in the universe I’d rather not know. In fairness to the universe, all those things are happening on this planet.
