    That sounds too innefficient. A jbrain/mbrain could simulate as much of
    humanity as necessary (almost the humanity meta-class), use the sim as a
    tool to enumerate the entire space of questions askable by humans, answer
    them all, creating the Uber-Database. next, pop it on a super floppy along
    with a merely super-intelligent agent program able to find the
    question/answer pairs in realtime based on natural language queries. Then
    fire that off to the human sub-intellects, and finally, get on with thinking
    about something worthwhile.
