Omnipotence. Then I'm pretty much done.

After that, add Omniscience

Congratulations! You now have the same relationship to the universe that a programmer has to his code.

Good luck, and happy debugging

Everything will be LISP in the future

[-] Lemminary@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Yes! Give me all of the science!

[-] ChairmanMeow@programming.dev 1 points 11 months ago

Not even necessary, with omnipotence you can do that youself. But a little mystery in life would still be fun, no?

[-] intensely_human@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

Screw it! Just change the laws of reality so you can be omniscient and have mystery at the same time. Make it so those two things don’t conflict.
