I definitely agree with you that Absolute Intellect seems nicer to have than Nigh Omniscience. Of course, you might be able to reach the level of Nigh-Omniscience and possibly even further with time (unless Nigh-Omniscience covers things you can't even reach as a human or with time). Either way, you'll still be the odd one out :P No matter what, your intellect will surprise and spark envy in others.

Knowing everything all the time would also involve time itself. Knowing what happens in the future. That kind of weight on my shoulders is something I do nooot want, thank you very much. Plus, knowing the future kinda removes a big part of the whole point of living.
