What's "free mind capacity"?
I'm not a native speaker. You know what I mean if you want to. Not true. I have no idea what you meant, but I do want to know. The way I read it, "Free" means "available". "Mind capacity" means "ability to think". We sometimes refer to it as "processor cycles", by anaolgy to computing. When one is thinking too much, there is not much mind capacity left for other tasks, so there is not much "free" mind capactity, although one's total mind capacity ("intellegence") is unaltered. The other way to parse it, "free mind" "capacity" (ability to be freethinking) doesn't fit well, so I went with the first one.

For MicroSoft Windows users, this would be a buffer overrun error. It's a common hacker technique to take control of someone else's computer. |
