    Christmas poll: would you rather be omniscient or omnipotent?

    Given the choice between inheriting one, and only one of these two powers (omnipotence, omniscience) which one would you choose? No, making yourself omniscient with omnipotence doesn't count, gawd.

    Merry christmas, guys.

    If I were omnipotent I could grant myself omniscience. That's like asking what I'd wish for if I had one wish. Infinite wishes, duh.

    Omnipotent, I'd use my omnipotency to remove enough omnipotency to make life not boring

    Cheaters, you're pissing the genie off if you wish for infinite wishes. You don't want to piss the fucking genie off.

    How do I add 'Neither' to the poll? Good option.

    Omnipotent. That way you can survive to learn everything the hard way. Where is the fun in knowing everything about anything? Knowledge without experience is the worst crime of all.

    Omniscient. Why be all powerful when you can prevent every disaster and win every lottery you want?

    It's impossible to be omniscient without gaining omnipotence as a result, omnipotence leads to acquiring omniscience. The two are intrinsically linked >_>

    Given the choice in a hypothetical situation where you could separate the two... Omnipotence.

    I was going to originally say omniscience, but the concept of "cant unsee!" applied on an exponential model may outweigh the benefits. Omnipotence isn't that much more appealing to me, but as said above, you could theoretically remove some of your power to reach that level of normalcy (+some awesome perks of course) that would make life just a little more fun.

    "Omniscience" is impossible to fathom. How can you know everything about the world when you are apart of the world?

    Omnipotent seems like Molecule Man-like powers. So I'll go with that.

    Omnipotence makes things fun.

    Omniscience makes everything boring. Not to mention no one would care to be around you, unless they simply want their mind to be blown.

    I believe that ultimately, omniscience without omnipotence would lead to hopelessness, so I'd choose omnipotence.

    Omnipotence, and I would use the infinite power to learn everything I want to.

    I think you guys are ignoring the benefits of infinite boners.

    If I were omniscient, I'd be bored. Literally, if I knew all there ever was to know and could never learn or experience anything new, I'd just kill myself. If I were omnipotent, I could still learn things and exercise as much omnipotency as I wish. I'd go for that.
