Is the capacity of the human brain limitless? How can we answer that when we don't even know HOW information is "stored" in the brain or if it's even stored in a conventional sense. It's not a hard drive. There are no magnets in there.
However it is processed, taking in huge amounts of raw knowledge isn't necessarily going to do you any good.

To understand reality is not the same as to know about outward events. It is to perceive the essential nature of things. The best-informed man is not necessarily the wisest. Indeed there is a danger that precisely in the multiplicity of his knowledge he will lose sight of what is essential. But on the other hand, knowledge of an apparently trivial detail quite often makes it possible to see into the depth of things. And so the wise man will seek to acquire the best possible knowledge about events, but always without becoming dependent upon this knowledge. To recognize the significant in the factual is wisdom. - Dietrich Bonhoeffer
