Not just in encyclopedias. In your brain. I would like to instantly be able to read, write, think, and speak every language that ever was on this planet for one.
Two, to be Lost treasure lucky, be able to find any lost treasure I looked for.

This is exactly why I can't understand people who don't believe in psychic abilities, etc. If we're not using all of our brain, who's to say that some folks haven't learned how to tap into that part?.........Savants would be more evidence of using brain capacity that others don't. Unfortunately, they seem to shut down other parts in order to do that.

1. Know how to acquire honestly and legally two or three million dollars quickly!
2. Know how to bring peace to the world and eradicate all forms of bias and prejudice.
Wait a minute...am I only to pick two things that would be IN an encyclopaedia?...GEEZ!
OK
1. Instant recall on all the classics in literature
2. Every event in ancient history and all the facts attendant thereto, ...I'd then teach it

1) I would wish for total discernment-then I would always know the truth no matter what people were saying or what had ever been written.
2) I would also wish for knowledge on how to 'transport' myself instantly to anywhere and to any time.

Wish number 1. I would wish to know and remember all those basic things necessary for inner peace and happiness for the rest of my days.
Wish number 2. I would wish to forget everything else.

To know the entire history of the world. From early man to the present. That covers it. I can't think of a second.

a) Yes, to be able to read, write, speak and understand all the languages fluently, (dead: Latin, dying: Lenape, and in use).
b) To write the history of the indigenous people before their history becomes forgotten; to write about the cures they used with only as nature as the sole provider; to write about their teachings, with only their spirituality as the sole teacher.

I want to have my natural psychic abilities honed to their maximum. Telekinesis, teleportation, telepathy and healing by touch.
I think I would end up being able to take care of myself very well, don't you.

of meds, but this is really
going into fantasyland.
