Feel free to substitute the Delphic Oracle, or Mimir, or the Giant Brain from Futurama which Fry was brought forward in time to destroy, or any other such omnisicent entity.
You may ask any question you wish, so long as it can be answered yes or no.
You must submit all three questions at the same time before hearing the answers.
If you ask a question that cannot be answered yes or no, you will be informed of the fact that you wasted a questiona and life is unfair.
That’s not quite the paradoxical question you think it is. I can parse that and easilly come out with a situation where you’re not rendered invincible…
“No, You will not be rendered invincible if I answer no to that question”
Not only that, if The Omniscient One answered “yes”, it would’ve been fine as well. “Yes, if I’d answered ‘no’ you would’ve become invincible. But I answered ‘yes’. Now die plz k thx.”
Did you just hand God a get-out-of-jail-free card, wierdaaron?
As for the questions, I wouldn’t care because I wouldn’t necessarily believe this… being… was truly omniscient or truly honest.
The third one is cheating. It’s actually three questions. Athena could plan on intervening in human affairs without planning to eliminate sorrow; she could plan on righing wrongs and eliminating sorrow without planning to create Heaven on Earth. I think you get told that your question cannot be answered yes or no and then laughed at.
I wouldn’t call it cheating. It’s more like a fair gamble. If the answer given is yes, then we learn three bits of information, if it’s no, then we don’t get any definite answer–we only learn that at least one of the answers is false.
