Here you are underestimating the unused potential of the capacity of the
human mind. A computer is made to work at the max of his capacity, a human
mind isn't. Any control over 'capability' should be in the hands of the
individual, not pre-set, dogmatic, and hard to adapt to reality,
philosophies or epistimologies, designed by people who may (help) invent
something, but never come to make any practical use of it.
'Capacity without control is like a rocket propelled car' ?
Capacity with control is like a car moving slowly into ONE direction,
capacity with individual control is like a million cars propelled in all
directions, increasing the chances one will arrive at a destination.
