This is nonsense. Evidence collected over the last 40 years have detailed how memory is encoded by synaptic weights, but the premise...
"there’s no obvious way for all that sensory data to be captured in synapses as long term memories"
...just ignores these findings. The model described in the article on the other hand, has never been observed. At the least, if you are going to propose an mRNA hypothesis don't use "T" as one of your RNA bases.
