And I don't want to unify the universe of knowledge before ordering a sandwich for lunch. Instead, I want to do it in a way that is easy, low energy, and is compatible with my needs and moods of the moment. Maybe I want comfort food, maybe I want a gourmet experience, maybe I want to impress a date, and so on. So I want my brain to be able to take shortcuts that reliably serve my (mostly unconscious) intentions. That's a long way from consolidating the universe and the meaning of life to order a sandwich. I think that, if there is one aspect of all this that tops the others, it would be the brain's ability to associate information, memories, ideas, concepts, etc., extremely quickly so as to bring a focused subset of its information to bear on a situation. We hardly even know how all those different kinds on things (information, memories, etc.) could be encoded and retrieved in similar ways, let alone how to retrieve mainly the most relevant of them. Solve the above, and your search engines will become much closer to what you want (and what we all of us want as well). TomP
