>>17200338
I can give police valuable information that will get them arrested before they can continue doing crimes, I can't do this if I only know the future.

what if both of them just makes you mindbrqken

 β„–17200555[Quote]

>>17200273 (OP)
past because unless the second option is some rick and morty shit where the outcome changes based on ur actions knowing the future would make the life extremely boring and pointless

 β„–17200775[Quote]

>>17200273 (OP)
if you pick future you will sound like a schizo who rambles about india 2030

 β„–17200828[Quote]

But how far into the future? Won't my brain like explode from knowing too much snca

 β„–17200841[Quote]

>>17200828
just assume you have an excess capacity for knowledge

 β„–17200885[Quote]

>>17200841
What if its something like a law of nature that I would want to understand, will it be counted as the past (since the time it was in place) or the future (the time when it got properly explained/discovered)?

 β„–17200911[Quote]

Eh, maybe not the future like I voted for. Even muh video games and movies could become boring if you already know them.

The universe is deterministic so if you were to know everything that happened in the past with absolute certainty, you could predict the future.

 β„–17200956[Quote]

>>17200933
Not really

 β„–17200964[Quote]

>>17200956
why not

 β„–17200987[Quote]

>>17200964
The future option is still relevant since like things are unpredictable

 β„–17201000[Quote]

Also human history of the past less then human history of future

 β„–17201016[Quote]

>>17200273 (OP)
Past. I don't like the implications of knowing everything I'll ever think and do before I have those thoughts.

 β„–17201026[Quote]

past because knowing the future would pretty much remove your sense of free will

 β„–17201035[Quote]

past

 β„–17201042[Quote]

>>17201016
also I'll know everything about early human societies, the Big Bang or the creation of the Universe in general. sounds pretty great

 β„–17201058[Quote]

>>17200987
>>17201000
So in this hypothetical scenario I don't fully know about the past?

 β„–17201071[Quote]

>>17200291
knowing the future implies determinism

 β„–17201076[Quote]

>>17200933
we don't know that the universe is fully deterministic, it's very much contested. though if it were you'd probably figure that out too by picking past

 β„–17201086[Quote]

>>17201071
What if its like the future that would happen if you didn't know about it

 β„–17201096[Quote]

i dont believe in determinism so i would say the past

 β„–17201102[Quote]


 β„–17201122[Quote]

>>17201016
yeah it would be a logical paradox geg

 β„–17201136[Quote]

Past, because having absolute knowledge of everything that already happened can help you achieve anything as it implies you have knowledge of everyone else's experiences, therefore making them your experiences, while knowledge of everything that will happen can also be helpful, but more likely to bring existential dread than any meaningful development into your life

 β„–17201155[Quote]

that's beautiful actually, well said
i picked future since im braindead

furthermore bells theorem basically disproves determinism so free willGODS won

Neither. Because I'm unbothered like that.

So I would know.. about a million things?

 β„–17201313[Quote]

>>17201016
tsmt, it would be agonizingly boring

 β„–17201800[Quote]

I want to know what "knowing" entails here. Would you know about every event in the past/future as if they were explained to you, or would you have vivid memories of them with visual and aural and tactile information like you were there?

 β„–17201808[Quote]

past so i become rich historian
