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.

The real issue isn't probably the lack of facts, or lack of storage for - its the being able to find the facts and recall them thing. Vicar needs indexed search capabilities.
