In this episode I discuss the potential of the human mind in terms of assumed versus actual boundaries. People frame their mental potential in terms of space and time complexity (although most don't call it that); in other words, they assume their potential is limited by the speed and space of the task (how much time it takes, the amount of raw information involved). But nature computes in ways that are very different from how computation gets defined and analyzed by scientists. In this episode I extend "memory palace" techniques to infinite palaces, showing that the assumed boundaries on mental processing are more fiction than reality, and that our minds are, for all intents and purposes, infinite, and should be treated as such.
