Originally posted by AThousandYoung Well, yes. In your scenario, however, there is a Press Release - or as you put it, a "media event" which announces this complete knowledge - which means not everyone knows everything. There's a big difference between knowing everything yourself and having humanity know everything. You seemed to imply the latter. Are you asking me if I would be depressed if I was omniscient?
I suppose I am asking that. I guess in my scenario it wouldn't be too long before everyone knew everything.

Why do you think that depression is a possibility?

Simply because the one thing that creates excitement is the thought of going forward. The journey is more important than the destination. You take all the mystery out of life , it could start to get pretty dull.

I don't think the human brain has enough capacity to know everything. However by that time I suppose we'd know how to make it bigger and/or enhanced with computer inplants.

Oh no. We have enough problems with hackers and pop ups now. Can you imagine the havoc wreaked by brain intrusions and mind hackers holding us hostage to porn ads and other garbage streaming into the subconscious from savy technicians?
