Can one mind hold all knowledge?

One human mind or one "mind" as an abstract thing, that could be arbitrarily large & complex? In any case, my answer seems to be "no" many times over. Challenges relating to: - organizing it all - contradictory perspectives - paradox of knowing "what it's like to not know"

That appears to be the trivial answer strategy. But fundamentally, why not?

Any serious take on the question demands definitions of: - "mind" - "hold" - "all" - & "knowledge" Plutarch's famous quote would mu the question altogether, by negating "hold" as an appropriate verb for "mind".https://twitter.com/_jordan_bates/status/1173969880342761472 …

No, I think it is countable, but not bounded in a trivial way.

I think it might be countable in principle, but the count is always changing — so can we keep up? It appears to be immensely generative on places like Earth. Perhaps there will be an inflection point toward degeneracy, as time passes & entropy takes hold.

I think we can see these things clearly.
