That is just because you don't see the components of my velocity in the
other dimensions. :-)

:-) Actually, with these kinds of early applications we can already see
the trend towards true *auto*biography: software that puts together
biographies on demand.
I predict that given enough intelligence amplification everybody will
seem like a super-erudite intellectual, making offhanded references to
truly obscure issues like the Tiberian enigmas - and since the listeners
also have it, it will seem like ordinary witticisms. And everybody will
have at least the auto-biography of everybody else - you only make an
autobiography to tell people what isn't in the auto-biography.
