How can I reasonably communicate with an entity that knows everything about the universe?

Theres a lot packed in here: If the universe is finite, and there's an entity that knows everything, and I can communicate with that entity, i can ask the entity any question, giving me infinite responses.

there’s an entity that knows everything, and I can communicate with that entity, i can ask the entity any question, giving me infinite responses

But what if that entity is being a dick and refuse to answer any questions?

How can I live a life that is truly Good? A life that, at it's end, I can look back on and say that I left the world, on net, a better place?

Can you give me the exact locations of all lost civilizations? Ideally any that have Pompeii-like level of preservation.

[–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 2 points 4 days ago

Yes.

Goodbye.

How do we get to Longevity Escape Velocity?

[–] Inucune@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

How do we prevent Longevity Escape Velocity from causing a world-wide government deadlock?

[–] Valmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

That was the worst answer ever!

JK, well it's not better today so let's suffer less is my opinion. It's not like L E.V is some sort of invincibility pill either, and to pile on top if that, rulers might think twice if they have to be around when their consequences (like fucking up the planet/their country) arrive.

Maybe people having an extra century or two will figure out things too, today is so hectic most people don't have the time to get into politics.

Why do you think it would make some sort of deadlock if aging could be reversed enough?

How do I, within the span of a day, gain the magical ability to grant myself an unlimited amount of wishes I desire without suffering any consequences that I would consider to be negative?

How can humanity survive the coming climate apocalypse?

[–] Valmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Adapt. And loads of suffering.

Easy question.
