Would you rather?
If you had to choose between 2 leaders, these guys would be leaders for life and no chance of getting rid of them, would you rather choose:

A. An Omnipotent Leader - All powerful, the power to affect anything in the world as he sees fit
or
B. An Omniscient Leader - All knowing, has all the knowledge on the planet, including of the future and the minds of men.


Which leader would you choose?

A.

I chose A because he can make an impact and actually has the ability to change what is happening, or what is going to happen. Just have to make sure you pick the right guy.

Omniscient.

I tend to believe that if people know everything, they'll make the right choice. They are generally just ignorant, which is why they make bad choices.

Besides, if the guy is omnipotent and a idiot, he'll make sweeping bad choices. I'm not even sure I would trust myself with omnipotence, but omniscience would be nice.

Omniscient: Power corrupts.

Power is wasted if the one wielding it is a fool.

But can the omniscient be ineffectual? Does having great knowledge allow someone all the power they need to affect change?

Wait--I switch. With option A my leader would obviously have the power to be omniscient as well.

I would go with A if it was the right person, if all we know about our choices are their powers though Im going with B.
