My 15 year old boy diagnosed with Savants autism. He is walking calendar and he can memorise almost everything from the song’s title to the meals he had 10 years ago and the dialogues or conversations he had years ago too… sweet boy and blessing to my family

I met Kim Peek and his brother twice. Once in like 2ndor 3rd grade and again in my later teens. The 1st time, I'd given him a small card with an Irish blessing on it. Kim looked at it for about a SECOND, repeated the greeting back to me, asked my birth date, and told me what day I was born. His brother said they would keep the card as a keepsake but Kim would always remember it and me. I was small and believed in magic but as I got older I doubted he would really remember me when he came to my then school. Kim shook my hand and repeated my name, dob and day of birth, then gave me my own Irish blessing. I cried. They each let me hug them and I'm Kim's biggest fan and he's my best friend.❤

I was in prison with this woman....that was in a really bad car accident which afterwards her brain worked differently....she couldn't do a lot of things she knows she used to be able to do but gained other talents....her artwork was most amazing....she could to scale shrink or inlarge images. Portraits were uncanny but her short term memory.... horrible. Beautiful spirit she has

6 years ago I was in the US army, I was injured pretty bad I broke my spine in 16 places and my pelvis and I hit my head really hard. I used to love working out and I always had to be around people and after it I was a completely different person. I dont like people, I dont do things anymore, I find interest in things I never thought there was ever a chance I would like? I used to arm wrestle in math class and now Im learning quantum mechanics for FUN. I have learned how to speak Chinese although there is literally NO use for that where I live. And I have taken a very strange appeal to gravity and super conductors, magnets etc. The down side though is I have become EXTREMELY short tempered and angry at the world when I dont need to be. The likelihood this is anything to do with the video is probably slim to none, but I felt like it was relatable. Thanks for reading this far if you have.

There was a severely autistic boy I went to school with, and my friend's mom was his EA. He was unable to complete full sentences, but loved Disney, and could riddle off the entirety of the end credits of several films from memory. Which is a really crappy trade off for having to live with debilitating sensory overload and difficulty with motor function. He seemed like a nice kid, and fortunately the popular "jock" type kids took a shine to him and made the lives of anyone who even thought about bullying him a hell scape for the rest of their high school careers.

In 1999, my sister in law had surgery for an aneurism in her brain. At 52 years old, she woke up a completely different person, in every way. She lost all memory. Her husband, her friends and even her own children. Those memories never came back. It was quite destructive, but she could walk and talk, and learned how to drive - again... Her soul was something I thought about a lot over the years. Who are we, if this happens???

OK, I'm taking up skate boarding ... without a helmet ...

My Mom was born blind in her left eye, then one day she got so sick that her brain was literally cooked when her body temp climbed over 110°f plus, they placed her into an ice bath hoping that it would help, they had to keep adding ice due to the fact her body was warming it up and melting. Finally 5 days later her body temp dropped down to normal, but the damage was done, she had to learn to walk and talk all over again, but each time she went to sleep she would wake up in a different part of her memories, we never knew when or where she was until she spoke. 80% of the time I was me her daughter, 5% of the time I was her sister, the other 15% I was her Mother. For all of that I had to learn to be very quick in my feet as they say, because contradicting her would cause so much trouble, funny enough Dad was always Dad no matter where she was, he was her one fixed point in her life that never changed at all. 6 months after she was finally released from hospital Mom shocked us with a fact that she could see, for months Mom was suffering vertigo and we just could not work out why, until one night she asked me to stop twitching my foot, a foot that she should never of been able to see from her angle because she had been blind in that eye for over 60 years until now. Well poor Mom had to go back to Brisbane Hospital as they had to run a whole heap of new tests to be compared with the ones that had been done just after her brain had been well and truly cooked. Her brain had started to rewire itself around all of the dead spots in her brain (we called them holes, she called it Swiss cheese brain) she had trouble making new memories, but if something scary happened at the same time it got past the blockage and was fixed into her fixed memories. The tests showed that if she had lived long enough her brain would have finished re-writing around all if the holes. Unfortunately the draw back of killing the virus that attacked her brain also gave her cancer, we were told it was a 50-50 chance at the time and we had hoped that she would have been lucky but was never to be. The brain is such a huge mystery and I don’t think we will ever fully know how or why these things happen, but we did find the source of her vertigo and once that was solved she got new glasses so things stopped looking fuzzy and thus helping to stop the vertigo as well. I got to meet my Mom from a child to a teenage to a young adult and finally once in a while I got to see Mom as how I grew up with. I still miss her everyday I just don’t miss not knowing who and when she was when she woke up every time. She would get angry all the time because of the way her brain worked, in the end I explained it to her in the only way I could and that was to treat her brain as a hard drive that had crashed and during the fixing of the HD data got scrambled and data was misplaced on the HD. She actually understood this concept and was one of the very few things that actually got past the memory block in her brain and was stored for her to find when ever she got frustrated we would just say “Remember you crashed your HD of a brain and it’s busy re-writing the pathways to the data, but it sometimes re-writes it wrong” she always remembered that.

Man, all I got from head trauma is migraines, insomnia, unsteady fine motor movement, and short-term memory deficits. Where do I sign up for the good head trauma? I definitely didn't get that one!

10 years ago I suddenly started seeing enhanced colors everywhere , I also went slightly legasthenic (tried to read words backwards without noticing it and couldn't make sense of them). Plus, geometric things made me dizzy (tiled walls or pavements were the worst) and triggered Parkinson-like symptoms. My dreams were filled with fast moving images like in early vector computer games. After weeks and weeks of trying to figure out what was going on, one eye specialist finally figured out that I had a severe migraine - a "silent" one, i.e. without any pain whatsoever but with a masive neurological aura. It still took almost a year for the symptoms to disappear. The brain is a very strange thing.

I have Synesthesia, but its not like I actually see sounds as colours or shapes, but its more that I percieve things in my "mind's eye" like its processed with parts of the brain associated with other senses. So when listening to music certain sounds will show up in my head as colours or even flavours. For example the tonal qualities of someone's singing voice may be percieved as the colour and taste of white wine. I'm also a musician and songwriter, and sometimes when writing music the sounds of certain instruments will take on a colour, or a particular passage of music will manifest as colours as I'm writing it and flesh itself out in that perception. Synesthesia can manifest in different ways for different people, but that's my experience of it

This is awesome. I had the pleasure of meeting a savant when I was younger, I used to play Steel guitar before I developed partial deafness and when I was applying for music school there was a young 16yr old kid that also played steel that was applying. He couldn't walk nor talk, but when he sat in front of the guitar and began to play it was so beautiful that everyone in the room had tears in their eyes. It was truly an amazing experience that I will cherish my entire life. I heard he passed away a few years later due to complications with his autism, but I hope he knows there are people that still revere him even 30 years later.

Had a good friend in HS who always had migraines, valedictorian of our class and his law school. The guy can recall every conversation he's had, verbatum, all the way back to middle school. I remembered he used to complain that he felt burdened with information overload and wished he could forget but it was impossible.

I think i am someone who might actually have adult aquired savant syndrome. Im such a different person then i was 10 years ago. I used to be an extrovert, used to have obvious adhd, now i feel like a total different person and have synesthesia without a doubt and i suddenly started building models a couple of years ago without the smallest bit of a learning curve. I just started and knew what to do right away. Im now introverted and sell and paint the models i create and often will just sculpt them if i dont have the model. I guess theyre really good too because people seem to really like them in droves.

Some people on here have some cool stories of who they met but I think I met the person with the most incredible brain in human recorded history who happened to also be talked about in this video. Kim peek and his father lived here in Utah before he died and I met and talked to him. If you told him your address he would tell you the name of the homeowners because in less than one day he memorized the phone book. He knew the winner of every world series he could tell you the score and in what inning and even what the weather was like on that day. He would spend a lot of his time reading multiple books a day. Sad he is no longer alive.

Before you go out for some intentional brain smashing remember this. My big brother got hit with a ball bat that left him having to learn to walk and talk, eat and even how to use the restroom. The brother I knew and loved was not in there anymore. I did get to know my new brother but he was not the same in anyway. He was tougher and faster than me before that but after that I fought all his battles because he was my brother and no one was allowed to mess with him but me. He died at 40 years old of a massive hart attack. I miss him every day and can’t wait to dine with him at our Father’s table 🙏🏽

After completing my first year of gross anatomy in medical school, I realized that we know almost everything that there is to know about every organ and structure in our body except the brain. We know so little about it. We will most likely reach the point where we have perfected gene therapy and gene splicing long before we ever truly understand the brain.

A truly fascinating video - classic Thoughty2. One of my colleagues experiences synesthesia when she sees colours for words and numbers. This has been with her all her life and she always thought there was something wrong with her. She mentioned it to me when we were discussing children's behaviours and special abilities. She was astonished that I knew what she was talking about. Why per parents or other friends hadn't made the connection, I don't know. I mentioned the word 'synesthesia' and suggested that she check it out to see how others have the same experience.

At the age of 31 I was in a motorcycle accident and got severely injured and bumped my head but I was wearing a helmet. Before this accident I could never concentrate, would day dream, was a failed student through every grade from 1st - 12th. After this accident I was able to retain large amounts of information and it gave me the confidence to go back to school and graduate, today at 39 I'm on my way to be a professor of energy technology. I'm no savant by any measure but it "woke up" my brain to be more efficient.

I'm not a savant (unless there's a savant for dad jokes), but calendar calculations are not that hard to do. Some years ago, I saw a video of a guy who was not a savant doing it for a crowd, and I figured that it wasn't magic .... there had to be a way to do it. I looked it up, learned how to do it, and now I can impress people by doing something that nobody gives a shit about! 😎

I was diagnosed with high functioning autism, and my observation is that indeed, instinct can make virtually anything possible. The trick is to know how instinct relates to whatever skill you're speaking of. All it takes is for you to want to pay enough attention to something to figure out how it works. Survival is the most effective way to do that. If you think you are going to die, you will be pressured to learn whatever it is you want. It sounds cruel that I say the best way to see amazing things from people is to threaten their life, but note that I said you at least have to "think" you are going to die. That is exactly what happens whenever you are sad or angry. I think that is well known. Face your fears and you will become amazing.

I have met and known a savant. Back in the day when I was in uni, I worked p/t at a group home for mentally challenged adults. One man w/retardation had autism and was deemed an "idiot savant" (real term in the USA). If one told him their birthdates, he would tell them which day of the week they were born. Even does this in years in centuries past and future. His name was Marc and we all loved him. He passed from COVID in 2020.

I watched a video of a young, ordinary girl who went to bed with a headache and woke up the next day being able to paint like a trained artist. She was only 14 or something like that. Her parents let her homeschool so she could have more time to paint... I wonder if she had some undetected problem in her brain, an internal "blow"? Like aneurysm, for example. There would be no reason why anyone would have done a brain scan of otherwise healthy child. She isn't the only child like that, I remember the video mentioning a couple of other young people suddenly gaining an incredible talent without any apparent trauma or diminished brain function. Maybe their brains just rewired themselves spontaneously. Makes me wonder if some of the famous inventors and artists in history were savants and people just thought them eccentric.

My grandfather obtained this from a head injury shortly after Vietnam in the marine corps. They still use part of his electrical instruction manual in some of their training courses. He gained a massive boost to IQ after the head injury along with a skull fracture.

Had a kid in high-school like the Peake (sp?) guy. He pretty much had any and every football stat, player names and numbers, teams, scores, could recall every game he's watched play by play, and could also give you step by step instructions to and from any place he's been, even out of state. It was incredible listening to him talk. Pretty much total recall

Dude i just love the supersmart yet gentle and human-firendly-paced style of your videos, you do indeed inspire me to try better to be a better human myself too! Even the topics I feel well educated on you put into context in such a delicate way for the people, bravo!

Thank you so much for keep on sharing some important ideas to us!

I am no savant (as far as I know); but when I was 10 I suffered a TBI in a go-cart accident. Shortly afterwards, I developed a bizarre understanding of analog machines & their internal workings (also my memory "unlocked" & I can remember things going all the way back to my first word & cognitive thought at 8 months old). Exempli gratia: I have yet to encounter an analog (non-computerized) machine that I cannot fix. Though this goes far deeper and I believe this is merely just the manifestation of my greater ability to "understand" the world around me in extreme detail. Though, as all coins have two sides, I also received a few curses. I developed exploding head syndrome, tourettes, and an almost complete lose of self (my I'd in Freudian terms) as well as significant damage to my super ego. I've never been properly tested other than a basic IQ test performed by vocational rehab back in November 2021. The psychoanalyst stated I scored in the "High Superior" range. Enough about me (if anyone actually read this), Merry Christmas to everyone out there & I wish you all a blessed new year! :)

I’m definitely an idiot savant…just without the savant part.

Thanks! I'm already waiting for the next one.

Haven't seen you for ages, you are looking good. Thanks for still doing this.

My mom was a Special Education teacher, and she had a student who was a congenital savant. He had autism, and could tell you on what day of the week you were born when you gave him your birthdate. He could also remember exact routes he was driven, no matter how complex, after just one trip. He wasn’t able to drive, but had all the streets of Indianapolis memorized, and it’s a really big city. He also loved to draw maps. Mom said he was an absolute joy to have in class.

I'm Asperger's. Numbers have colours, some flavours have textures. When I was younger my memory was close to photographic. Exams never worried me, I'd read the notes the night before. I'm writing this because you've explained a lot about why my brain is different. I'm not a savant, but I make connections other people don't. My brain is wired differently.

Channel always getting better and better..... Great work man!

Thank you for the great video. I truly enjoy your artwork and content ❤

I had a friend who was a musical Savant in high school. Because of family circumstances he never discovered it until he was 16. He was literally shown how to use a guitar for the first time, and within 10 minutes was playing pieces that took me months to learn. Same with piano; got his RC grade 10 piano before he turned 18. Picked up a trumpet and could play it inside of 30 minutes as well as the kid who showed him how. I've always wondered what happened to him.

I had the opposite happen. I was always really good at math, and by college performed most math, engineering and science calculations/ approximations (easily) in my head. I spent months researching the best calculator for my money. They were still pretty expensive back then. I chose a RPN, National Semiconductor 4640. An automobile wreck and head trauma diminished my mental calculating abilities significantly. I could no longer hold all the variables for my approximations. I confused simple math laws and developed a dyslexia between 3 and 5 as well as o and a. Once I realized these "modifications" I was able to pre-compensate to some degree. Occasionally, I can still produce some impressive feats, but no where close to b4 the wreck.

Thank you for the video!❤

Thank you for another year of amazing content, Lord Thoughty!

The seating plan in high school chemistry put me next to the smartest guy in the school. He was a genius of some sort. He had near perfect marks (99% I think because apparently they can't give you perfect marks in English classes). It was great because he insisted on doing the write ups for all the labs we did together so I wouldn't bring down his marks (he never said so but it was obvious) so that arrangement brought my marks up without having to do as much homework.

This is why I love this channel above all else. "Who drew this hand?" "First, we need to go back to a karaoke bar in 2002" 😂🙌

Thanks for these videos I love them! This one is great, my mum was a savant with music, so this is interesting to see.

9:00 RESPECT YOU 100% :)

My nephew fell off of a car while "car surfing" as a teenager. When he woke up after a weeks'-long coma, he could suddenly play any instrument after hearing it played just once. He also excelled at math, whereas before the accident, he barely scraped by his classes. It struck all of us as amazing - although, understandably, my sister was just glad he came back to us at all!

Thank you for these incredible deep dives! I love channels like this that can make me interested in topics I've never heard of

This was very interesting. Thanks for the video!

Always so interesting and amusing! Thanks for all your hard work. From the West of Ireland ☘️

One of my nephew's has autism, he banged his head when upset, hes 7 now and is a mathematical genius, although he is developing a bit slower in other areas i think he will speed up in most if not all these areas as he becomes older, but at the moment his mathematics is unbelievable, crazy working out at ridiculously high numbers

As usual, Great content, well thought out, planned, executed, and edited. Thank You !

You have the most interesting topics for us, delivered factually, succinctly and with humour. Just love this channel, thank you so much.

I love your videos ❤ they are always so well researched and narrated.

You are truly one of my favorite channels. I enjoy all the different topics you put forth as well as the way you provide them to us. Thanks for all you do.

I actually became a bit obsessed with these abilities, and tried figuring out how I could make myself learn quicker. Needless to say I was unsuccessful. I always considered myself average, but people have always told me I was a very smart person. I always got very good grades in school, and in college. However I was actually a slightly slower learner than my peers. but as a result, I was extremely persistent. Far more persistent than most people. I was always the last to finish a math test, but also one of the highest ranking. But nowhere near the abilities of a savant. Quite the opposite actually since savants typically need very little to no training, and I needed tons of it. I think the moral here is that there are 1000 ways to get to the same destination. Savants just take a shortcut, and everyone els takes the typical path.

I've always been a big fan of your channel brother and always seeing exactly how smart you were and how interesting it were content and that proved to be loved to work keep it up and cheers on the success that your channel has brought you have a good day God bless.😮

This was interesting. I thought at first this video was about people like me. I went through a similar instance at 1:00 and I had developed a "quirk". The best I can describe it is seeing music through color while hearing color in music.

I love your videos, you’re not centered around one subject, you talk about various things, and you add animations and pictures to make it fun, you way of presenting is great, and like generally anyone who like the stuff you talk about MUST like your videos, I hope you keep it up ❤

The concepts presented here about savants, and how the brain can potentially adapt and unlock unique capabilities is fascinating. It truly begs the question if we all have hidden talents coded within our DNA waiting to be discovered. Looking forward to more thought-provoking content like this.

So you’re telling me that MAYBE that fall I had when I was 2 is responsible for my Bipolar disorder AND my cyclical interests? 😂

Your use of the song of the zebra finch as an illustration put me in mind of a young man I once knew, who had retained a very young child's ability to learn language. He was only 21 years old when I knew him, and already spoke almost fluent French and German, as well as his native English, and had a working knowledge of Dutch and Japanese, yet he had hardly left England as a child, apart from the odd camping trip to France, and had had little contact with foreign speakers. He had 'picked up' his knowledge of Dutch and Japanese from working abroad since he left school, and had learned French and German at school, but as we all know to our cost, school education never gives you the ability to SPEAK a foreign language, only to pass exams!!!! To put it in perspective, I have a French diploma, and have lived in France for 27 years, but I will never have the complete fluency this young man had at 21 years old. He was not a 'savant' in the usual sense of the word, but highly intelligent, with extra brain cells for language ability!

Everyone is amazed by the abilities that Padgett unlocked but nobody mentions how impressive it is that tank put all of maths on a floppy disk.

I really enjoyed this video. It’s absolutely fascinating to think how our brains are capable of these unimaginable tasks. I used to work with autistic children. Some were severely disadvantaged but occasionally we would find that one would have a certain ability to do amazing things. One boy could remember every shift, date and time of any staff member instantly. He could also remember the weather on that day he could remember what was for tea, breakfast and dinner. Another boy used to rip up paper into tiny pieces all of which were the very same shape and size, an L shape. Some types of paper were a bit awkward to shape so he would get really angry. We would often find books, toilet paper and the rota torn into thousands of these tiny L shapes.

It's always great to hear and watch Thoughty2!

Another great video! Nice work 🙂

I've actually met/know 2 sovants, both congenital. One is a 40 yo man that was a camper at a camp for mentally challenged adults that I was a counselor at years ago. He could tell you every option available like exterior/interior colors available, all of the motor, style, tire options, EVERYTHING for EVERY car going back to the first car. He is amazing. The last time I see him, he had moved on from cars (after knowing everything about them) to boats. The other sovant is a child. He has amazed me since he started reading on his own before he was 2. He has several special interest and knows so much about each and can write in the tiniest print but looks just like a tiny typewriter typed it. He is amazingly awesome too! I never met him, but my dad told me about a guy in his hometown that would walk up to you, introduce himself, and when you told him your name, he would tell you your address and phone number from the phone book. He memorized the local phone book. The brain is so interesting!!

Merry Christmas brother, all the wishes with you keep going

I love ur videos man u every video is a smile and death vibe I know im to be gone one day but I rack up the nostalgia of future memories and past memories and I keep track of many lessons in ur videos and ur genius detail working thru words ands angles to presentation

Great video, thanks Thoughty2!

A friend of mine from high school never learnt to play the piano but his father used to play the piano, from the moment his father died he could out of nowhere play the piano very well without even being able to read musical notes, this video really reminded me of that

Thank you for your hard work and the knowledge you share ! Of course the entertaining content you produce. Thanks again Hank

He has got some really interesting, entertaining and educational uploads. Brilliant channel. All the best to you all.

Enjoyed this video, thank you.

Merry Christmas, Arran. Thanks for making 2023 more bearable old chap. Without your helpful videos and wise words, a few of us might have gone a bit barmy. 👍🏻

I have always found this ‘condition’ absolutely fascinating on so many levels!!! I would love to have the chance to experience it!

You're an Intelligent person! THAT keeps me coming back for more! Love your channel!

I feel like a simpler possible solution (and with fewer potential negative side effects than more direct alterations and modifications to the brain) is to better understand the psychological and/or neurological processes that are involved in learning so that we can more quickly and efficiently make these neural connections and such that allow a person to have certain abilities, skills, and talents. We know we can learn things under a certain period of time, but maybe we'll find ways to learn things faster so that we can more quickly achieve our potentials.

The mapping of the brain was done about 150 years ago by sticking needle electrodes in different areas of the brain and looking for what happened, . One most documented case is the one from Brocat , a French physician that discovered the language center in the brain. This is known as brain area 32 or Brocat area 52 . Stimulating this area would make the “volunteer” say did Ffernt words. Thi was done in French prisons where detainees who volunteered to take part of the experiment would have part or all of their sentence commuted. This was under the Napoleon empire. His notes are incredibly detailed and I encourage you to do a talk on this particular individual. We now know what most of the brain areas do. Many have multiple functions. Other we have no idea! Of course nowadays using the unethical methods used during the Napoleônic era are unthinkable nowadays. Now we rely on accidents, muggings, people who show up with knives and other objects penetrating the brain. Please keep up the good work Dr. T M.D, MS.

Literally one of the best channels on here .never disappoints

thank you for being one of my favorite youtubers since 2014 :)

Outstanding content as always 👌

an awesome video once again🌟 But one little note, You should have also mentioned the downsides and difficulties that comes along the superhuman abilities that they might unlock! Such as The inability to socialise and to everyone’s surprise, they might have cognitive limitations in regards to other aspects of day to day life.

Absolutely believe in the passed down ability theory and head trauma bit. My grandfater on my dad's side repaired tv's in a shop and also worked in a bakery for most of his life. My dad grew up working in the same family bakery. But Electrical repair eludes him. I was asvab'd to show high mechanical but even higher electrical when joining the AF at 17. Was trained by the AF to repair ECM on B-1Bombers also comm nav. Did 7 years of that and I got hired doing Avionics repair on Helicopters in 2000. Been doing that ever since. Also, I was a C-, D average student in High School. Got in a wreck shortly after Graduation, head almost went thru the windscreen. Was in Basic training the very next week. I excelled among my peers in all my AF studies. The world of electronics came natural to me with the training the AF provided. Got my Associates and got out of the AF. Before getting my brain banged up in that wreck I had zero intention of ever going for more education. School was a bore. Post wreck, I was a different person.

I’m a Savant in unconditional ‘Love’ ambience as no one else, I was told. So creating emotions as well as arts & music are also brain gifts.

New subscriber always watching your videos ❤

A friend of mine, Frank Healy is extremely rare; he’s the only person in the world with a mind like his. He can recall almost every day of his life including all the details, Weather, meals, and which baseball team played on any given day including the scores and who made them. It’s funny, when we see each other he reminds me of our last conversation, even if it was 2 -3 years ago.

If only. 💭 I was born with a musculoskeletal disorder which, even though having tests since the mid ‘60’s, and most recently, more in-depth genetics testing, not a single other case has been found. It has no name and as the major symptoms are my limbs being very different to yours with progressively worse pain, my medication, including copious amounts of morphine, is purely for the pain. Even so, I worked in the able world from 12 years of age, then joined a company where I progressed to an accounts manager. I had to retire recently. My greatest fear as a child was to have mental capacity but be trapped in my body. My greatest fear is rapidly becoming reality.

When I was younger I attended Cherokee camp (free summer camp in my area) and they explained this theory to us of growing brain connections and how it’s easier to shape you’re brain before adolescence or in early adolescence and showed us certain thought exercises and it’s been such a tool. You likely won’t become a savant, but any singular thing you want to master literally just practice, but beyond that when it comes to the arts, just observe over and over and you will grow those brain connection but it has to be engaged thought and processing not just say, listening to music or looking at a painting. Similar concept to the one is this vid

Great video as always.

This is truly fascinating. Just shifting from left to right brained from injury has fantastic effects on cognitive skills like music and art, i can only imagine a complete savant shift. Happy Holidays

Some amazing traits run in our family that made me question reincarnation because it seemed like we came with the knowledge already, like we learned it in a past life. I never thought about it being hard wired into our genetics.

Hey thoughty. I have had a dislesia in my back but the radiologist told me I had a 14 year old back because of the brain flued around my spine at age 28 and being grown fully. I told her at that point it might have been the stress. But I have to be honest, it is a meditational state of over-activating my brain to release these fluids. It costs me physical energy and a calm environment. Also I cannot speak and keep this state up at the same time or hold it for extended periods while being physically or vocally active. The good thing about this state is that it saved me from the need of extra pain killers(morfine shots) after a month or so and I got feeling back in the numb places around my hamstring and leg areas down till the foot. Which where caused by this dislesia. Also I have very young and full hair. It actually grows faster and thicker than many other women and male around me in their late twenties young thirties. But as I kind off lied towards the radiologist I want to get it clear here. Also the more I am able to eat and rest during the day, the more I can use these brain activitys.

trippy... had a couple head injuries myself and can remember almost every person I've talked to if I wasn't too fucked up, and I remember it as if I was replaying a movie and can hear their exact voice. Can also remember my dreams in vivid detail,the brain is such an interesting thing. Our computer that controls this mecha

Most innate talent is usually drummed out of people by the time they finish third grade. We intentionally and systematically destroy creativity in children and call it "education". Imagine Mozart placed in Kindergarten instead of encouraged to learn music. He would be adept at social conformity and pleasing his teachers.

The human brain is amazing. I had a stoke when I was younger due to a genetic condition. I woke up one morning and my left leg wouldn’t work. It was the most bizarre feeling. I knew immediately I’d had some kind of brain injury. I thought I would have to walk with a cane for the rest of my life, but after only a few months I didn’t need one anymore. Now you could never tell. It’s still a bit weak and I’m prone to falls, but otherwise I’m fine.

Amazing stuff! Thanks

Thank you that was great content

thoughty2 does a nice job teaching pple about interesting topics like all his videos

I have SEVERE dyscalculia and I usually tell people I sustained head trauma and that's how I got it because people find that totally believable while believing that someone can be born with the inability to do math is impossible for most people. 🙄

Big brother's scoolmate was able to remember books by one reading. He had it easy at school. Most likely a savant. I am quite good on navigating (as a thumb of rule, I need maximum three times to remember the route). I red like Peek in my teens, but by training rigorously (I literally red a libraryfull of books, peaked at 120-130 pages per hour) following calculation instructions from a book, only - the same goes to calendar calculations (only very briefly as it was not my forte). But not a savant.

Thanks, I found this a very interesting topic :) > I have spent a lot of my life looking over aspects of the human condition through the many disciplines + my own experiences (applied). I won't go into the background detail as it would take many years of my life to write a book explaining it. 1. Genetic inheritance is well documented and debated, but is typically limited to the basic for survival. In humans, the most rudimentary of movement, urge to eat, cry etc. If we look at a horse, and many other animals, a foal can be walking withing 20 mins without being taught (Most of our brain capacity goes toward movement as it is the most difficult task). Anecdotal evidence such as what you describe here of people having memory of a particular place out of there family history as well as memories about how to perform some common historical task exist across a lot of literary sources. So, I strongly believe we do inherent some abilities as part of our evolution/learning, even if that was by accidental modification of our genes in an ancestor[s] 2. The mind is malleable both physiologically as well as physically. There is a wealth of evidence that show people, who have suffered injuries such as a stroke for example that are capable of regrowing the neurological connections. For example to regain better arm movement. There is also a great deal of literature suggesting that we can physically modify our brain through rituals such as meditation, habit, willed belief and other techniques. Although it would be unlikely we would suddenly be able to play a piano from the former.
