Which is better?
(1) You know nothing of the world; you might be a baby.
(2) You know nothing of the world; you might as well be a baby. |

Hello
In this example, it is better to say "you might as well be a baby". It is comparing a person to a baby. Both the person and the baby lack knowledge about the world.
The first example "you might be a baby", is saying that the person may actually be a baby.
Hope this helps,
