Which means that you charge me with disagreeing with the idea that humans cannot hold such a mass of information. I didn't disagree with that idea, I questioned its utility in understanding labor, which, again, was at the center of the two minute video clip. Therefore, I could not respond to your question. It wouldn't make sense for me to answer it.

You may certainly critique any idea I put forward. But you need to critique what I actually said. As an academic, that's really the only thing asked.

Barring that, you expose yourself as being a troll. Or, if you feel the charge of troll is exceptionally unfair, you demonstrate inability to thoughtfully and adequately engage with the ideas currently put forward. That's OK. But I cannot do your work for you.
