It’s definitely a trap. All that knowledge would probably overfill your brain and overwrite parts, making you an insane halfzombie without a friend.
I would assume that ALL the knowledge in the universe would include how to get my friend back from Gax.
Or the knowledge that you can’t.
If it was me being taking away I would tell the person “take the knowledge, build clean energy on this planet! Trust me, that’s totally worth one person! Especially if that person is my lazy ass!”
And then the recipient of the knowledge realizes the problem was never the technology, it’s the incentive structure of the system.
What do you mean capitalism only enables greedy psychopaths!?
Hey now, you’re not getting a free escape from this dump that easily.
You get back down here right now 🦀
If any alien wants to take me away from you, let them. Fuck earth! I’m off to GORP GORP!!!
The first one is a bit unfair since they don’t say what they’re planning to do with the 100,000 people. Even when things are doing well generally, there will always be people who would jump at the chance to get off the planet and start anew.
The second one sounds like heaven if the internet access includes a good gaming PC and way to get games on it.
I mean, they start with “we come seeking mates.” Sex is implied, though it could be sex slavery, could be a death after sex thing, but there are fetishes for that too, and she got the signups on a fetish site. Seems fair to me, unless you mean the judgement of the Aliens. Maybe asking more questions is part of the test.
Oh, you’re right, I missed that. I have a feeling they’d get more male volunteers in that case, but what I said mostly still applies.
It’s gonna take a GORP to drag me awaaaay from yoooou!
And it’s nothing that a hundred Gax or more could ever dooooooo!
If he’s still a corporeal form, there aint no way he has all the knowledge of the universe.
Might be easier to communicate that way
Could have recreated a physical avatar after compiling the Book.
What’s he doing with the friend he’s taking? Maybe it won’t be so bad.
“Not THAT one, but sure.”
Damn, Gax really wants a friend.
isn’t it paradoxical? all the knowledge means you now have an infinitely detailed image of the friend, you know how to create a look-alike human with same dna’s and know how to flash the image to the new human. thus you’ve recreated the friend while keeping the knowledge.
Only if that is possible. It is not a god cheat code. In fact even if something is possible it does not mean it is practical or doable in ones lifetime
You can’t know things and have friends?
Some things, but not all things. Way of the road bubs
I think there’s too many things in the universe I’d rather not know. In fairness to the universe, all those things are happening on this planet (that I know of).
Just think, you could be aware of all the atrocities being committed on every planet in the universe!
From from
From is Gax’s last name
Gax From just wanted a friend
That’s like, all of my friends, dude.
Griffith without the torture
Solved.
Take all knowledge universe
Control time and space
Go back and put clone in place of original friend
Bring original friend with you to your original timeline
Erase brings knowledge event
Make perfect “best tasting dish” for friend and you
Solve world problems after on a full stomach
:)
Control time and space
And if all the knowledge in the universe tells you time travel is impossible?
Oh if our version is I’m wondering how he got to us in the first the place I’m sure there is a high chance of a work around that we wouldn’t know about ;)
