Shudders Hell thro’ all its regions.
A Dog starv’d at his Master’s
I believe this thread has run way past its useful course, and suggest we
kill it.

Oh come on Ben. Of course a single human cannot know that much. That's an
absurdity. Humans are

The limit of human knowledge is somewhere near there. Most humans do
not contain more than 10 or 20 books of knowledge; geniuses might get
up to 100 or maybe more. But that's the limit. Figure maybe ten pages
per topic or concept, and that is the limit of how much one person can
know (over a
To be clear: when I say "knowing things", I mean "concepts". Think of
"dogs", and writing down everything you know about dogs. I suppose that
could fill at least 2 pages, maybe 10 pages of writing, and then you've

Please, stop making such stupid claims. This is so obviously wrong that I'm
not sure if there is any sense to argue. "No human", "1 of anything",
"not that big"??? I will not refer to
