SENSITIVE ARTIST

I am a sensitive artist. Nobody understands me because I am so deep. In my work, I make allusions to books that nobody else has read, music that nobody else has heard; and art that nobody else has seen. I can't help it because I am so much more intelligent and well-rounded than everyone who surrounds me. I stopped watching tv when I was six months old because it was so boring and stupid, and started reading books and going to recitals and art galleries. I don't go to recitals any more, because my hearing is too sensitive, and I don't go to art galleries any more because there are people there and I can't deal with people because they don't understand me. I stay at home, reading books that are beneath me and working on my work, which no one understands.
I am sensitive.

Simple estimate

Motivated by dm_lihachev's discourse on memory.

Assume that a normal person's speach is at a speed of 120 words per minute. Assuming that each day a person hears about 4 hours of speach we get:
4*60*120 = 28800 words per day.
365*28800 = 10252800 words per year.
Thus a three-year old has heard in his life about 30 million words, 20-year old -- 200 million, 40-year old -- 400 million. This corresponds to 150, 1000, 2000 Megabytes of uncompressed text (assuming average 5 letters per word). So all things one hears/speaks/reads in a life-time fit nicely on a single 10Gb hard-disk.

Main flow of information is through vision, not hearing (it is better to see once than to hear 100 times), so what is the role of the language -- labeling-taging things? Algebra becomes much easier when convinient symbols are introduced.
