Thank you for your reply Kg and Happy Monday to thee! :) Upon further pondering of your reply Kg so you would impart your knowledge to others and help them and guide them and counsel them? That could make for a very worthwhile life! :)

I would not not want to know everything. I would rather there be some things I have yet to learn. It makes one hopeful for the future. Happy Monday. :)
You'd have nothing to aspire to, look forward to, improve upon. I cannot imagine such a circumstance t hat would make me happy or content or satisfied. I'd be cut off from ever asking questions again. I mean I ask to find out what others think even though I know what I THINK. But that's because I often don't KNOW. I dunno. Maybe trying it on for size for a day would be okay as long as I could go back to the me I was. Thank you for your reply L and Happy Monday! :)
You would all ULTIMATE truth Walt. You know the bottom line. You would cut to the chase. Could you live well and joyfully knowing all? Thank you for your reply! :)
It would be nice to always know the truth ... but on the other hand, it would be annoying that science hasn't caught up to my knowledge. I mean, I would constantly be trying to convince scientists of the ultimate truth. And while I'm trying to show (say) biologists the ultimate truth - those darn astrophysicists would still be getting things wrong. Who has time for that?!? Maybe if I were immortal. But even then, I wouldn't want to spend all that time proving scientific truths.
Knowing every would make for a empty and depressing life.
Learning is what keeps us alive. What point would there be to life if we knew everything there is to know? We are by nature curious beings. We long to know. We send probes into space and to other planets, all in an effort to "know" (to learn). We dig in ruins to 'know'. We trek into dark jungles to 'know'. We explore the deepest oceans to 'know'. We build relationships with other people to 'know'. We push the boundaries to 'know'. Our insatiable desire to know and learn is what keeps us going.
If we were to know everything, all there would be left is to simply exist. No books to read (already know it), nothing left to achieve (been there; did that), same boring people around you day after day after day (already know what they're thinking)... What's left? We live to learn... to 'know'. That's what gives life meaning. It's that spark that keeps us going. What shape is the sky? Is there life on other planets? How big is the universe? Are there other universes beyond ours?
