But if you can't prove infinite doesn't exist, which it does, then your statements may be false, and thus, one may be able to absorb infinite knowledge and read infinite books

I've been testing the limits of the theory of limitless 'brain space', and I've yet to find a limit, and believe me, I've seen a lot (of junk, which helped me along the way).
What is likely is that we simply discard the information we no longer hold meaningful, or perhaps never did.

How do you know?

Sounds like a job for a supertask

That's it, I'm building a hypercomputer.

>>there's only a finite number of books you can read
>>there's only a finite ammount of knowledge you can absorb
And still I am shitposting here instead of reading and learning.

I meant how do you know you don’t have infinite time to enjoy information at your leisure?

All data available to me so far suggests that human beings have a finite lifespan.

?

what would be the point of knowing everything?
what would you do once you know everything?

Or smells..... certain smells can instantly remind you of obscure shit you were doing last time you had that smell.

Piss everyone off.

>>10294235
but you've already done that in your head because you know every abstract and unimagibable way to piss everyone off by being the biggest braincuck under god

it'd be like living in a dream where you've done everything because you've already imagined it due to the fact you know everything there is to imagine
