"My brain's broken"

I can't learn anything new and I've stopped being able to understand stuff I used to know.

I think I'm actually getting.....less smarterer.

Once I get some money, I'll teach myself how to code in Javascript. Then I'll read up on how to use Photoshop. Then I'll learn how to be a better musician. Yeah, that might work.

LTM being long-term memory?

Taken from my pyschology book

" Merkle (1988) estimated (using the number of synapses) that LTM may have a capacity of between one thousand and one million gigabytes."

Know lots but don't be a smartass.

What's it supposed to mean?

'To know and not be knowing' is a revered state amongst certain mystics.

You're right, I think once I get some money, I'll stop coming on here and read something about something instead of spending my time reading da cheat master's mind garbage. Money first though - damn capitilists will stop me learning eh?!

I think I read somewhere that if the human brain was a hard drive, it'd be 5 Gb in capacity....!

I just feel like I don't really know anything; it's like there's all this literature, music, technology, art and history I know NOTHING about....and I want to know.

Spending time in here kills off the brain cells. That's my excuse anyway.

You need contextual cues.

In a few years I won't remember that :(

I know what you mean - everything from school ... it's all gone.
But I'm sure I still do remember it somewhere, I'd just need a little prompting to get it back again.

I like to think the human memory has infinite capacity anyway.

You could always stick a screwdriver in your ear and see if you can fiz things a bit.
