I can see why you’d think that but may I just point that knowing everything does not mean one can make use of what one knows. Besides even if you know what someone is going to do that does not necessarily mean you will take the appropriate countermeasures. Even setting both of those problems aside no one (not even divine beings) are truly omniscient. If they were they’d have no need to do or create anything because they would already know the entirety of what could or would happen. Of course it’s entirely possible that what we experience as reality is simply an incomprehensibly complex, longitudinal thought experiment. But if so then based on what’s come of it so far I shudder to think of what kind of being we are being internally conceptualized by or what end they might have in mind.
