AI creating more poor thinkers is how I read this. Its like that outer limits episode where everyone is hooked up to all the answers mentally and one guy can't have the implant. In the end he is the only who can find his own answers.

I've had this thought about heaven before. Like I assume you don't go in with whatever limitations there are on your brain in your earthly form, which means the people that died longest ago will have this almost unapproachable level of knowledge, and it feels like that everyone would get to that level across eternity. Then what? It would be a space filled with everyone that knows everything. Would you even be you anymore? Wouldn't it all be boring?

(I don't believe in heaven)

Like almost every religious concept heaven falls apart almost immediately with even the slightest bit of scrutiny.
