    I was in the same boat myself about 15 years ago, and it was bad even then, I cant even imagine how it is now.

    You know how we used to have to memorize phone numbers but then smartphones came around and now nobody can recall more than a handful from memory? I’m no better, I can recall my wife’s, moms, dads, and work, but I couldn’t tell you any other relevant number to save my life today.

    Now take that paradigm and apply it to general thought. What happens when all our thinking gets reduced to queries and does not grow beyond that?
