Memex and My Limits

• I'm not sure if any tool will ever break the 7 +/- 2 (or more like 1 +/- 2 as Alan Kay says) constrain of the brain
• I'm also not sure if any tool will be able to give me more IQ points (although a point-of-view can - solving things visually)
• also, understanding requires effort, and this requires time
• so, even with the best second brain, I'm still limited by my own brain
• this also seems related to Workshop vs Library issues
