Can we know everything?
I don't construct very complicated arguments, but:
If we were to know everything, wouldn't that entail knowing the non-existence of unknown unknowns?

Wouldn't that mean you know what you don't know?
Doesn't that sort of logical inconsistency show the incoherence of omniscience?

I'm pretty relaxed about not knowing everything if it is logically impossible.
So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat? Huh
