I'd definitely go with the ability to know anything past, present, or future.

I'm not sure if that will joyfully co-exist with happiness.

Yeah, enjoy every movie, TV show, joke, and surprise being ruined forever. Better to have wisdom than knowledge.

Also, wisdom will probably make you realize you should have just wished to be lucky.

It would, because you'd be able to choose what information you knew. I'd go straight to solving cold fusion.

Would that include forgetting information you already knew and didn't want to know anymore?

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

It would need to. Because sometimes you would find out the truth of something and that truth would be very, very ugly. Like finding out that Mr. Rogers behind the scenes was actually a huge racist (he wasn't).
