Brain too small

I wish I had more RAM. I have the ability to conduct abstract reasoning, but I lack sufficient placeholders to do much without accessing remote storage devices. This isn't a factor when involving existing schema, i.e. subjects with which I have intimate familiarity, but with novel arenas the lack of developed structure necessitates the placeholders until such links are developed.

This is a frustrating weakness - it's not like a lack of IQ where you simply fail to recognize the issue, it's knowing you could process the information if only you could remember the bits and pieces.

That's more a question of hard-drive space than RAM...

In my weird profession, I can actually give you some tips on that. Interested?
