Can one mind hold all knowledge?

Replying to @speakerjohnash
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 …

Of course, but we already knew that. Gödel has made us constructivist

I think that new knowledge (or at least prerequisite information) is generated faster & more diversely than minds can keep up, so we will always be updating, never reaching "all knowledge". also wrt "Hold": memories degrade

Speaking of hashing algorithms Yes a mind can hold all knowledge discovered, undiscovered, past, future But only as an index The machinery gets set aside when engaged with one topic

How does a mind hold undiscovered or future knowledge? Just as the terms/conceptual buckets prepared to catch these things?

Bound hash addresses spitting out signal Imagine a TV tuned to a no signal channel Every address spits out gibberish Unless matched to one or more addresses

Are you talking about randomness? (If so... Yes! Nice.)

No he is not. He talks about hashing algorithms as a general way to address locations in a space of representations.

Much like "a _ _² = _" doesn't make sense until you put " + b c" in the blanks They have potential for information but no definite content themselves There was a filesharing protocol known as a brightnet Based on the fact that the shared fragments were truly unrelated gibberish

The fun part is you could have people play with random address associations To inspire curiosity and creativity
