I think you have it the wrong way around, the human brain is full of "unused
space" (unlimited by human standards infact) which the human can fill up without
running out of storage and the more knowledge the better, in comp chess it is
the other way around, there is a very limited space to work within, the more
knowledge you add, the more speed you lose and without knowing exactly how it
works, there are limits to how much knowledge you can add to a program of todays
standards, before your program will actually suffer. This is only about the code
itself, but the idea with opening library's should be constricted to 1 MB
including code i disagree with. What we can do though is to remove TB's against
humans.
