It is unfortunate we have lost the concept of a "learned" person.

I notice this reading about Voltaire and how often he is referred to as a "learned" person.

Instead it seems like we just so accept the brain is literally a type of computer that we just haven't figured out the architecture for yet. The storage part is completely trivial like a hard drive so the idea of a "learned" person is equally trivial.
