I've had many thoughts about this.
I think in a Three wishes/one pill situation. My first choice would be the ability to speak every language, and read/write

Right, so that would be OK?
But knowing every single thing about all forms of science, which by definition would allow me to duplicate the pill I had just taken isn't OK? Typical fucking "soft" subject bias. No wonder this country's gone to shit, Chompy.

but languages change a lot slower than science, you'd be out of date within 6 months.

wouldn't matter.
I'd have the recipe for a pill to get back up to date, wouldn't I?

and duplicating a pill that's already been metabolised is going to be a tough one even for you "so called" scientists.

don't need to worry about that.
It was made by some form of science, I now know everything about science, so therefore I could re-create it.

What if they didn't record the method correctly.
Only had a vague equipment list, WHAT IF IT WASNT A PEER REVIEWED TECHNIQUE

I didn't ask for access to all scientific journals
I asked for knowledge of everything in science. Even if they did it in a secret cave, never wrote it down, and killed themselves after posting it to me so the secret can never be known, it's science that happened before I took the pill. So I know it.

Well what if it was made by God?
And don't tell me it can't be because you just pointed out that I can't prove God doesn't exist.

I totally didn't.
I pointed out that when you proved God doesn't exist, you still wouldn't convince religious people of it. It's a genius one-way tenant, the religious are allowed to point out the flaws in scientific arguments but the opposite is not allowed as "it's beyond human understanding"

But wouldn't that drive you to madness? Knowing so much stuff?

But Chompy you can already read and write.

To a very basic level though.
