Usually I feel like language is too ineffective, often leading to me being mute for long periods of time. I have the constant sensation that I do not get my point across perfectly; even though I talk a huge deal when explaining complex ideas, I still feel that the human language (mostly spoken, but it also happens written) is very limited.

We can only express ideas linearly, one thought after the other. My brain does not work like that: when I'm explaining something, I visualize a complex structure that represents the idea I want to get across and my "spoken transcription" is like an algorithm verbalizing the abstract concepts, and I must say I feel it doesn't work very well.

Sometimes I wish we could have a "peer to peer cable" for brains, where the ideas would be comunicated with all their branches and ramifications.

Also, I usually feel the urge of modifying details after I have transmitted my ideas. I imagine other people would find weird having said to them "hey, do you remember that time when we talked about cats? I would like to change what I said after...".

But I cannot stop my brain from being like Portal 2's Fact Sphere (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iAUwamHTM4), active at all times, reviewing and classifying all sorts of input.

TL;DR: I feel like the human language is my bottleneck.
