Omnipotence vs. Omniscience

Started by DarkSaint8515 pages

With omnipotence you can just make yourself happy, so...

I mean, you could make it so that something as simple as tying your own shoelaces makes you the happiest guy in the world. Boom, sorted.

Yeah but in that case omnipotence isn't doing anything omniscience cannot make you experience. When in the other hand this thread's omnipotence is essentially banned from getting all the experiences you get through being omniscient

Would it matter?

The assumption is there would be one through I think we've all arrived to the conclusion this is a paradox to begin with ermmha

You're fighting me. You get to pick first, I get the power you don't pick. Which would you pick?

I assume that in the context of the fight I cannot win, but my question was more about "what is there to win by being omnipotence and not omniscient in favor to just being omniscient"

With my processing power I could experience every universe there is to experience before you even get to attack me with your omnipotence at all. By then I might as well welcome oblivion

But then, you'd KNOW it was all fake.

Also, how I am proved right about how just knowing things doesn't give you powers:

Lead

The straight and narrow can be spirited so the attention is divested. Then you have insight and percussion 🥁. Then you can range and have objective distance. Then with Omniscience no on can touch you.

A character with true omnipotence (absent omniscience) or a character with true omniscience, but no other powers?


Assuming the omnipotent being is not allowed to gain omniscience:

It depends on the nature of the omnipotent character.
If they permit the omniscient character to speak, then the omniscient character becomes more useful.

Then the facet is original and free information ℹ️ that underlies so that you have repose. Then you have connectivity and a spark of intelligence. Then you have free association and can imprint so identity is affirmative. Then you have equality and can have the elusive so that you have what power can’t grasp.

Think

Then the pieces fit and you have dominance. Then the minds eye 👁️ can explain away the problem and have excellence. Then you have right over might. Then you’re in the right frame of mind. Then you have thought 💭 bubbles and a clean slate.

ID

Then with knowing you have initial action and primacy so you get the first shot ftw.

Omnipotence of course.

If I can't gain omniscience with omnipotence then I choose omniscience.

But either would be great to have.

The way comics work, just knowing things doesn't give you the abilities without power.

Yeah, how could this go on for so long.

prime mike tyson vs. bill gates. who wins in an all out fight to the death?

if your answer is "tyson", then why? bill knows so much more than him.

Made

If you think of the answer you can chart 📊 and have productivity so that you’re ahead of the game. Then omniscience gets the win 🏆.

This is a poor analogy, as I doubt Bill knows much at all about fighting. An omniscient guy would know absolutely everything there is to know about ALL forms of combat(not just western boxing.)

But that begs the question: just because you have every iota of fighting knowledge in existence, does that mean you have the physical ability to apply that knowledge in a practical setting(ie. in an actual fight)..? Because imo, knowing how to do something doesn't automatically mean you are physically capable of preforming that feat -- the faster/stronger guy is still going to be faster/stronger, no matter how much knowledge you have. /shrug

...Though even if the omniscient guy was physically capable of backing up his infinite MMA knowledge, all the omnipotent guy has to do is think "vegetable", and *poof*, the omniscient guy is a comatose invalid. 👆
