Sorry for being so serious. I'm very interested in optimizing my learning and just read a book all about this stuff.
So you filled your head with information about how to optimize learning, at the expense of using that brain storage area for stuff you actually want to learn. 😁

The mind can see beyond the infinite edges of the known universe.

Such would imply that we are larger on the inside than we are on the out.

Noooo that was my whole point is your brain doesn't fill up to the point where you can't learn anything new or the old stuff gets lost. It's not one thing at the expense of another. Sure, if you never use certain knowledge it will eventually get lost. You have to keep it fresh which is what spaced-repetition does. People have learned a lot about how the brain works and we can take advantage of it.

Speak for yourself.

My ... what's it ... can fill up to the point where old stuff is leaking away and new stuff won't stuff in there any longer.

Sometimes I skip a day of flossing so that I can get really big, satisfying chunks of plaque on my floss the next day.
