The moment one gains pansophy their future (as well as the future of everyone and everything else) becomes set in stone. Pansophy is more than just knowing what CAN happen; it means one knows what truly WILL happen.

If thatbwere the case than you couldnt choose to makenthe cure early, because you knew it was made by x at y time.

I'd also like to ask you how one would know what choice they would make if there wasn't an option? If you didnt have an option or choice than you cant know which one you would make. The nature of having no choice makes you no longer all knowing, it puts a limit on the level of knowledge you have.

Yes one knows what will happen, but if it cant change you cant use the knowledge. So I know the winning numbers of every lotto or gamenof chance that will ever be run but continue to live a poor life, never taking advantage of it? If knowing what will happen takes away my choice than I know who won that, that it wasnt me and I cant change it. I however know myself and know that I would take advantage of it. Also the instant you gain omniscience the choices you would make would change from those you would have made before having it, ergo there was a choice. Would the choice you would have made change? No not likely but that doesnt take away the fact that you had one, of you didnt you arent all knowing. The fact is the only way you could know the choices you will make is if you know the results of making the other choices.
