and yet very little access to common sense :)

the article cites the ability to keep a ton of details in working memory as an advantage, I'm not so sure that it is - perhaps it is quality over quantity; a compression of everything known into a smaller set of interlocking patterns should provide a more useful generalization (if correct, of course). The human's ability to perceive 7-10 concepts might just be the tips of the icebergs composed of a gazillion micro-concepts, i.e. our working memory is enormous, but not consciously accessible

also, the older neural capacity estimates are way wrong [1]: dendrites also compute
