I would assume that ALL the knowledge in the universe would include how to get my friend back from Gax.

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!"

Can we pick the friend?

If any alien wants to take me away from you, let them. Fuck earth! I'm off to GORP GORP!!!

A friend of mine once told me this story. She was very much trying to do good in school, including studying a lot to do good at the final exams. Her dad had cancer at the time and the prognosis was he'd last till August or so. He died in May. She was devastated. She said she'd rather have spent time with her dad before he passed away than study for the stupid school. Her plan was to study, finish school in June and then spend time with her dad. The universe had other plans. Just a story from real life.

"Not THAT one, but sure."

Damn, Gax really wants a friend.

What's he doing with the friend he's taking? Maybe it won't be so bad.

if i get all the knowledge in the universe, i'll know how to retrieve my friend

Beware of trusting Goreans...

Is test. No-one willing to trade a friend should be given such knowlege freely. Conversely, no-one should bear such a burden alone.

Can we break it up among my friend-group with a decent bit of overlap? Except for the moral hazard stuff; Break that up among us into the smallest, least coherent bits possible.

I'll have some knowledge for free, pls!

All the knowledge in the universe sounds like a privacy crisis.

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).

That's like, all of my friends, dude.

It's definitely a trap. All that knowledge would probably overfill your brain and overwrite parts, making you an insane halfzombie without a friend.

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

Im shocked to hear that coming from miss british empire here.

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.

If he's still a corporeal form, there aint no way he has all the knowledge of the universe.
