It will be nice to have this problem. Several years ago, Eliezer Yudkowsky asked Aubrey de Grey about brains filling up as they age.[1] Aubrey's answer was: AdG: "I'm not too worried about the brain getting saturated. And the main reason I'm not worried is because I'm pretty sure that even by our age, we're already forgetting old information at pretty much the same rate that we are learning new information." EY: "What a wonderful and consoling person you are!" AdG: "I think that's fine. I think there are ways, of course, in which we can train our brains to store more information. I'm not even sure it's a worthwhile thing to do because we have so many extracorporeal ways of storing information these days." He goes on to back his view up with evidence such as the reminiscence bump.[2] 1. http://bloggingheads.tv/videos/1903?in=35:23 http://bloggingheads.tv/videos/1903?in=35:23 (The HTML5 video is broken.
