Power poll #something

Because drie got lazy.

A simple one. Would you rather know everything or have perfect memory?

 

I'd rather know everything. If i knew everything i could use it to the weakness of my enemies. Yes i know the flaws with coinciding memories but I'd also be able to know the truth of history.

 

perfect memory, there are things i really do not want to know

 

That's a good point even if you weren't presenting it as one. Although there is not alot that can phase me i am as some would say one sick puppy.

 

there is not a lot that would phase me either. But you do not want to know the psychological problems of everyone you meet. You'd be too busy working around these things during every conversation to enjoy life.


Also, sorrry that i haven't done anything semi-useful lately. At one point ill probably make more power polls, work on cyberjunk and more importantly, work on ShadowAngel

 

Ah true but one can live a solitary life. I might check out Shadow Angel in a bit

 

IMO knowing everything would take all the fun out of life. Sure, you could have everything you want (just play lotto if you're short on cash). But I'm interested in what would you actually do with all the knowledge there is to have.

Take games for instance, most of them include surprise in their fun factor, but you don't have that luxury because you know who the real bad guy is, how to pick your talents for best effect and even what kind of drops you'll get through your diablo run.
Sure, there are multiplayer games that take your skill into account. Even if you know the layout of the map, exact times for booster respawn and where the enemy is, you'll still have to manually outshoot them in an FPS. But then again, you already know who will get the kill and who'll win the match. Same with starcraft, even if despite knowing your enemy's plans, build and strategy you can't beat him - you already knew that, what's the point in playing?

Of course that's just games and I might be missing something in that too. But I still wonder, what would you be doing if you knew everything?

 

I'd still play if i know i'm gunna lose i keep fighting so even if i know i'm gunna lose i'll play and if i'm gunna win I'll try to change how.

 

What's there to change? You'll know exactly what you'll do. You want to tweak it? You already knew you'd do this and in what way.

 

So? Doesn't mean i couldn't have fun especially cause the way i am i like to know whats happening while the enemy is like WTF GOING ON? That's why i like games like DND for War 3. regular DND is fun too though. That's also why murder mystery is so fun, if i know whats going on it's like HAHA while everyone else is like wtf?

 

Sure, but perfect memory could be just as much of a curse... CAN NOT UNSEE

 

Read my other post.

 

memory of course. some things aren't meant for you to know

 

Lol remindsme of Conspiracy theorists

 

hahah yeah i realized it too

 

Do you work for the government? Have you dispatched agents to deal with me?

 

This shouldn't even be an argument here.
1) Even with regular memory you can't unsee those
2) With the other option you get to know everything you could possibly want to unsee and don't have the choice of not clicking the link

Driver looks like I just can't understand you. If that's the kinda thing that works for you, it's fine, but I don't see how it'd work for Meee. Well...

Here comes another argument. Knowing everything of course I'd also know how to enjoy it.
Still I stand by memory

 

well, if I know everything, will I remember it my entire life?

in that case, perfect memory is the same, jsut that you'll have to learn everything first

 

Perfect memory, that way i wouldn't have to study before a test as I already clearly know all the info needed.

 

Knowing everything would mean knowing how to attain perfect memory. It's a win-win.
