Not to mention fragmentation. Think of the data fragmentation of 50 years of interaction with a parent or sibling, or 30 years on a job!

The brain as computer eh! There was a book by that same name. So now we have a new argument with this guy's theory to add to many others..

1. mind/body
2. soul/mind
3. soul/body
4. computer/mind

I've found (since my brain can't hold any more), that I now learn best by forgetting. Its a great technique.

I've hired that guy at Norton, can't remember his name, to create a program which is consumed through the eyes by staring at a steak dinner on a computer screen. It goes in through the whatcha-macallit, gets to the serowhosi whazi, then does its thing, selectively overwriting useless memory fragments in the celery stalk.

Every morning now, I wake up with a fresh outlook on life and wonder how'd I get here.
