        The first one is a bit unfair since they don’t say what they’re planning to do with the 100,000 people. Even when things are doing well generally, there will always be people who would jump at the chance to get off the planet and start anew.

        The second one sounds like heaven if the internet access includes a good gaming PC and way to get games on it.

          I mean, they start with “we come seeking mates.” Sex is implied, though it could be sex slavery, could be a death after sex thing, but there are fetishes for that too, and she got the signups on a fetish site. Seems fair to me, unless you mean the judgement of the Aliens. Maybe asking more questions is part of the test.

            Oh, you’re right, I missed that. I have a feeling they’d get more male volunteers in that case, but what I said mostly still applies.

    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.

    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).

    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.

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

    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

      Control time and space

      And if all the knowledge in the universe tells you time travel is impossible?
