Infinite Knowledge – How It Would Be To Have It

Some people over the internet will advertise books or audio that share techniques on how to read a book and learn all its contexts. At the same time, they claim you can read it in an extremely small amount of time through their advanced techniques. Movies and TV series like ”Suits” have similar ideas. In Suits, one of the main characters can keep everything he sees in his memory. Any optical vision can be stored in his mind, and he can reproduce it whenever he desires. In real life, the possibilities of meeting a person like that are less than winning the lottery.

The ability to learn is strictly related to memory. The stronger your memory, the easier for you to learn, right? Wrong! Learning and memorizing are two completely different things. Learning is about processing the information you receive to reach valuable conclusions allowing you to survive and thrive.

Memory is essential to keep the information in your brain’s storage for as long as you need to process it. Still, other than that, it is not related to the learning process. Again, whether you will keep track of these valuable conclusions is a matter of memory but not the learning process. Learning is a process, and it is not equal to being smart.

Learning seems so important for humans that it is considered one of their basic needs, among love, freedom, and a sense of security. As we learn, certain areas in our brain appear to be activated and make us feel alive. This is why some of us are ”learning addicts” and are happy to learn new things even when this is not important for our well-being. If you think about it, we know much more than we need in order to survive. Why does that happen if this information is useless? The answer is hidden in our biology’s weird style of structure. Just like survival and reproduction are instincts, and they have certain ways to be expressed, like hunger, thirst, etc., wisdom is a part of our nature and is expressed by learning. Liking to learn is not an incident. We need it to be able to survive.

On the other hand, take a moment to think of the possibility of gaining infinite knowledge. Even though that sounds crazy, it is not extraordinary at all. In reality, our brain stores an infinite amount of information. Everything we come across is stored in a small piece of our brain, ready to be used when the occasion arises. At this moment, let us share the true experience of a person who was part of a climbing exhibition on a small mountain. The people in the group were not professional athletes and were not prepared to go on a wild adventure. Their group was separated in two. In one of the two teams, there was an instructor who had a good knowledge of the area and the surrounding mountains. As the two groups divided, one of them got lost in the way. There was no way they could find their way, and they felt helpless. Here is where miracles happen and prove that the human mind can be incredible when danger appears. Likely one of the people in the group remembered the number of the instructor’s cell phone who was in the other group and called him for help. How did a person manage to drug a 10-digit number from the depths of their memory to call the only person who could help? Note that he had not written or tried to learn the number by heart. The information just popped into his head because an emergency was upfront.

The bottom line is that regardless of whether we realize it or not, we are fully aware of everything we interact with every second. Not only do we know more things than we can recall, but we have a map of every place we have been to and a tape of every moment we have been on Earth. They are just kept in the subconscious mind. We cannot drug them whenever we want because there is no need to. A part of us knows what is useful for us and what will cause more trouble than solving any problems. Therefore, the ambition to learn in an unhuman way is barely a dream; it is more of a hidden skill.

Perhaps the reason we would be so eager to be able to do it is that we already know we can manage to do it on some level. This ability reminds us how much control we have over life, so it appears to be a temptation. If we had no hint or clue that this is possible, perhaps we would not dream of it at all.
