every peice of information that could possibly be known is already in my head. however, i simply have not tapped into it yet. it is obvious that the brain contains information that the mind cannot access because there are two parts to the brain. the brain part of the brain (information) and the mind (emotion). the more i think about it, the more i

I would completely disagree with your proposition of the mind

i think he just means that we always will have the ability to learn and then know

[_factories]

ok, yes. that is all correct. but, we still don't know if there is a physical limitation to how much information can be stored in the brain, especially because we don't know how it is stored. so, when you(i) see, feel, touch, taste, or experience anything, you(i) could just be unlocking information that is already within occipital lobe.

the unlocking of that information would be similar to when somebody who has suffered from amnesia slowly starts remembering things.

This is true, BUT I never disagreed that there is no distinguishable limit to human memory. I never put a limit on how much we could know, yet I do not not at all think it is possible to have 1st hand, sensory knowledge of something before you actually experience it.

And for clarification, to anyone who doesn't get it, if you hear about how bad the war in Iraq is, that is sensory information about hearing about the war in Iraq. If you are in Iraq and fighting the war or watching it, that is sensory information about the war in Iraq. Language is not sensory other than communicated ideas passed on through sound (talking) and sight (written word) and therefore does not count as an actual experience about what you are talking about, rather it is the experience of talking about it.
