Play Pokemon? Go here!
Play Minecraft? Go here!
Just want a place to hang out and talk about video games in general? Try these guys!

For information about my GT, "bjb yo," or the Linked account here on B.net, "Nub Cutter."

I have a philosophical question... Do you think that anyone, even you or me, if given enough time, could do anything? And I'm talking about timelessness at one's prime, never aging, who's body never goes into disarray (that you yourself don't cause).
For example, do you believe that if someone never died, that, left to his own resources, he could learn literally everything given enough time?
Another example of this would be the whole Batman taking down the Justice League; do you think that someone like me or you, who isn't Batman, could pull off something similar, "given enough preparation time" and left to our own resources?

Please stop complaining about the 'death of a loved one' it's my job. They probably deserved it anyways. Here's a warning, if you keep making pentagrams out of the neighbors livestock I will personally come to your house and kill everyone you love. Now leave me alone, I got to get back to work.
~M.D~

No? Why would I? I rather learn everything there is to know then destroy something that doesn't exist.

Yes.
But, given an infinite amount of time, or even just a time frame of a few decades, couldn't you theoretically train yourself to Batman's level, if you were dedicated enough? Then could it not be possible?

...I'm not an alt. (Which is a very alt thing to say.) Seriously, check the date I joined and compare it with his.

“I didn't want to wake up. I was having a much better time asleep. And that's really sad. It was almost like a reverse nightmare, like when you wake up from a nightmare you're so relieved. I woke up into a nightmare.”

No. No matter how long anyone has, it's impossible to truly learn it at which I'm assuming you mean if it was a something like carving they'd be good at it. If it is that case, It's simply because no one is good at everything.

I am the God Emprah of Mankind.

Deal with it.

Yes, infinite time = infinite ideas.

Shoot me a pm if you want to talk about anything!

I think yes. Given infinite time, you could accomplish all possible tasks.

Unless there's an obvious example that proves me wrong.

Nope.

OT: No, not any task but most

I couldn't even finish a bowl of spinach in that time, so no.

Go back to Runescape.

No. Even if one isn't limited by time, one is limited by the self.

  • 12.11.2012 8:36 PM PDT

Absolutely. You would just keep learning, and eventually learn how to learn more.

I think you could do anything with enough time.

I wish there were at least one person who was immortal and could tell us stories of the past and advice for the future.

My problems [with Reach] are basically just full parties, mlg, and people who go out of their way not to get killed.

No. No matter how much time you have you'll never be able to do many physical things.

Historians would like to have a word with you. Granted, they aren't the best at giving advice for the future but they are experts in their respective fields of history.
