@Cuddly_Dragon This is just my personal view, try and picture it as follows. Imagine the inside of your mind as a huge empty warehouse. Now place yourself inside the warehouse. You have the freedom to move around and do whatever you like. You can create anything in there. Every time your outside persona reads a book, a copy of this book appears inside the warehouse. You can manifest anything you imagine into this warehouse to visualize or to ponder or to do whatever you like with. All your thoughts and prayers and emotions also goes into a box or onto a shelf in the warehouse.. Everything you have ever seen heard or studied goes into the warehouse. Every single photograph you have ever taken. Every book, movie and tv series you have ever read or seen, word for word. Not only that, your mind keeps track of every single cent you have, every single possession you have is also stored, as well as how much you desire those possessions. For clarification, this all is entirely physiological and in no way religious. At some point the you inside the warehouse starts running out of leg-room, and can't move around so freely any more because of all the clutter. The mind slows down as people get older, not too many people will argue against that I think. This is why the Yogis and Buddhas are always on about "emptying the mind". Just my 2c.
ADDED: When the warehouse starts getting full, people stop asking questions - because they now believe they know everything that they needed to know. They have all the information already.
@Deejay from Earth okay I understand what you're saying... But let's it it from this point. The brain has been proven to be more powerful than a computer. So to use your analogy... Let's upgrade your warehouse and add a machine that helps you store these items in order of importance and/preference. Slowly as you add more items to this warehouse the machine will decide according to you what it can discard (example your 7th grade geography teacher as apposed to remembering your 1st grade teacher) this way it organises your items. Some items it will link and add together, thus adding to knowledge you have already added. In this way the machine it perfect. Information overload is when the machine is given too many commands and not enough time to complete them all.
The warehouse is never full, it merely becomes too vast to journey through the entirety of it. Soon you need a map but as time goes on the map fades and sections are lost.
Just my view ... Though I really enjoyed your warehouse analogy
@Cuddly_Dragon And thank you for your insights. My problem here is just that if we have all the knowledge in the world, in the most technological society of all time, why is the world such a degenerate war-mongering shit-hole full of rich "Presidents" and Governments, when the people are sick , dying, in debt and too poor to generally give a damn about anything. (Your reasoning is awesome, I just couldn't relate it to what I see in the real world.)

This is the only non-fiction book I've read cover to cover since forever. That was a few months ago and I'm always going back for more. Lucky for me it's not a thick book. For now, you can replace the word "Tao" in the book with "Spirit". That will help with the understanding. It's not perfectly applicable everywhere but it will go a long way. There are over two hundred translations of this magnificent work, and this is the only one of those I've read. Somehow, for no reason at all, this book just resonates very strongly with me. Recommended a thousand times over. The Tao Te Ching
a modern interpretation of Lao Tzu

Is that book available in audio form? Btw I also wonder about that question of why the world is so bad if we have such a great amount of knowledge...
@Deejay from Earth dankie man.
@Sidius 👍🏽

And just on a side-note... I'd like to present you with the best Flat Earth proof of them all....
☝ 🤔
They offer no proof of their claim whatsoever. Could be that Putin sent a missile their way and they're covering up? Who knows.
Is this a bunch of non math degree people talking about lack of gravity and flat earth.
Aai the shit people say.
snaaks bru
@Deejay from Earth yes ou. Het jy al na Australia toe gevlieg one way vir n vakansie of iets?
Yep New Zealand, Peru.
USA x 2
Ek vlieg ook Radio Control fixed-wing, Heli's en Drones, so ek is bekend met die basics van aviation.
Ek wil nog USA toe... damn daar is paar epic plekke daar. Ekt op n stadium n vid gesien van n ou wat n RC plane met n turbine engine gebou het en daai ding was mal vinnig.
Ja die turbines is cool. Jy kan nie glo so klein turbine maak 65k RPM nie.
Dis insane!
Yes daai is die een
