What would you ask a person who knew everything?

[Mise]

1) Are you really the head of the Kwik-E-Mart?

2) Really?

3) You?

---

But seriously:

1) How do I be a good person?

and possibly

2) How can I help the most people in the shortest space of time?

Boring I know, but whatevs...

 

[madviking]

How can we avoid the heat death of the universe?

It's really the only suitable question.

 

[Flying Pig]

1) How do I be a good person?

Philosophy, starter for ten - is there a 'right' answer to that question, which any human being could objectively know?

 

[Traitorfish]

Perhaps a good person would asks that question regardless of whether they expected a coherent answer?

 

[Valka D'Ur]

Say you met a person who knew EVERYTHING. You tested this fact and know it to be true. You're ready to ask him/her for all the answers to questions that you've ever wanted to know. What do you ask?

Just a comment here: Since you know it's true that this person knows EVERYTHING, you must also know everything. Otherwise, how else would you know that what he knows is correct?

I like that question, I'd probably ask this, along with "Will we ever be able to contact them?" or something along those lines.

I would want to know if they are friendly toward us.

1) What is the ultimate question to the ultimate answer that be 42?

2) What is the secret to speedy space travel?

3) How best to harnest fushion power as a power source?

4) Can you give us the cure to cancer?

5) How do we set up a succesful colony on Mars?

6) What is the best form of democracy?

7) What is the greatest form of education?

8) What tactic will lead me to take over the world?

9) How do we become gods?

10) Can you set out all your knowledge into a collection of volums so that I can access them for my plot for setting a eternal dictatorship... I mean to help ensure full enlighment and peace for humanity?

1) What do you get when you multiply six by nine? (you'd know this if you watched the TV series!)

2) Travel really, really fast.

3) Either become a green plant or hook up a solar panel to whatever you want to power.

4) Maybe he could, but would he?

5) Go to Mars. Set up a colony. Don't get killed. Don't do stupid things to Mars.

7. Is there life anywhere in this solar system? If so, what is it?

There is a great deal of life on the planet Earth. You are one of those life forms.

Genetically engineer permafrost lichen and send their spores in a one way rocket.

Good answer!

 

[Glassfan]

Say you met a person who knew EVERYTHING... What do you ask?

If you're so smart, why aren't you rich?!

3. Where is the nearest intelligent alien species?

I would want to know if they are friendly toward us.

Damn straight! The nearest friendly intelligent alien species!

Answer my questions.

 

[BornInCantaloup]

Ask him about his burden and the value of forgetting things.

 

[JohnRM]

Ask him about his burden and the value of forgetting things.

That would assume that the sum of all knowledge equals net pain, or burden, as you put it. You're a pessimist, I see.

Swear eternal loyalty to his global dictatorship, duh.

3. "You know, I've been thinking, we're getting really close, and... I think you ought to start coming to Church with me". Worked for perhaps the most ungodly man I've ever known!

Alas, many women in central Virginia are very religious.
