is there a limit to how much you can learn? Is there a point where a human neural brain won’t be able to store any more new information?

Obviously currently this doesn’t happen, but assuming there would be some techniques or devices for learning more – would there be a limit to how much our neural networks in the brain can store?

Our brains tend to act like the recycle bin on our computers.

If you don’t know what the recycle bin does for your computer it just allows for the data that you put into it to be flagged to be overwritten.

Our brains do this constantly, the saying “use it or lose it” is a good saying for our brains as well as our muscles.

Say if Einstein just studied constantly, he would never hit a “limit”. His brain would just replace old information with new information that’s more present. It’s still possible to remember that old information but it will be in fragments of what it originally was.

Like our childhood memories, we can imagine a few but we can barely recall every single day of every single minute.
