Yes, I'd choose to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and tell God to fuck off.
So, as a gift: 63,174,774 + 6,761,374,774 = 6,824,549,548.
Or - if you don't like that particular truth - care to say which truths you do like?
I can't tell you, I cherry-pick what I want to know when it is hinted at. But generally most of all I want to know about truths that other agents don't want me to know about.
There are thousands of truths I know that I don't want you to know about. (Or, to be more precise, that I want you to not know about.) Are you really most interested in those, out of all the truths I know?
I think I'd be disturbed by that if I thought it were true.
I'm not sure that's a very good heuristic - are you sure that truly describes the truths you care most about? It seems analogous to the fact that people are more motivated by a cause if they learn some people opposes it, which is silly.
Heh - OK. Thanks for the reply. Yes, that is not that bad a heuristic! Maybe someday you can figure this out in more detail. It is surely good to know what you want.
I love this reply. I don't think it's necessarily the best reply, and I don't really even think it's a polite reply, but it's certainly one of the funniest ones I've seen here.
