I don't think our brains are anywhere near as finite as contemporary computers. I have a hunch the brain works more like a quantum computer, and so has much more capacity than we realize. And I think a person can learn many things at once, some specific and some general, but I feel it is important for everyone to have a good liberal arts education. Without a good working knowledge of ethics, sociology and politic, democracy doesn't work well. . I tell all the kids take liberal arts first as that is where wisdom and kindness lies, IMO. Once you have a good foundation in that, then work on a specific area of interest. <, I'm not against education. I'm a technologist - I understand we do amazing things by training people in esoteric sciences. However, all of that comes at a cost - there is a finite amount of capacity in the noggin like there is on your computer.
