Myzen, thanks and I look forward to interesting chats. What field did you study in?

DSF (hope you don't mind the abbreviation), what I mean is that in my experience people can have data in their head and repeat it like parrots but they don't make experiential, emotional connections. Oddly, the most twisted minds I have met were in psych depts., the people you would think that they would have it together. In fact, that is why I went to uni, because they all seemed like gods to me and they had it figured out and I was somehow missing life's point.

In short, to use an example, someone might know its bad to smoke, but they might not understand it at an experiential level or do anything about it, until they make meaningful connections. My dad quit smoking last year after finding out he had bladder cancer. He knew that cancer was bad for people's health, but whenever we told him, we were just being bossy women.

Simply having a lot of data in your head doesn't make you any wiser, creative, emotionally stable, good, honest, or self-aware. Computers have lots of data, but they aren't self-aware, at least not yet.

Not sure if that answers it.

Thanks for asking the question.
