The Connection Between Hardware and Breadth Theory
I'm largely agreeing with breadth theory to the point where I think it's mostly right, but there's other things going on. From computational theory, a person has less working memory may affect their interests. So memory could play a factor and that could be a hardware difference in that case. Or it could be a software difference. We'd wanna test between those two theories. It could be that it's a matter of speed. And if you happen to have a faster brain, maybe you do find more things interesting. You can see how what I'm doing here is taking both theories seriously as science now.
