[TheGhostOperative]

who needs school as long as you have a perfectly good baseball

[abc123shout]

We know so much about things but so little about the human brain.

[Brust90]

Fucking bad quality

[veryfuck]

why go to the doctor if you are not sick? this guys (doctors) are trying to hack into your brain and learn something to sell it as product. they get money and bonusses if they found new solutions so get more money

[denouements]

if they learned how to work together, they probably could.

[TheHebrewIsraelite]

if all savants got together they could control the world.

[mondiablue]

OCD

[richmond436]

It's a very useless skill

[911MMM123MMM911]

Yes it is, but he can remember everything.

[gaiagale]

why did you say this?

skills are all useful

[TheJassEffect]

@richmond436, how can you say "it's a useless skill". I can imagine atleast 2 major things in my life which can greatly benefit from this skill. And if you are unable to see that, maybe you need to be hit in your head with a baseball becuz ur missing some real basic skills.

[iDraw3G]

ok, name two things that would make it useful.

[Kenjineering]

Has anyone ever sat down and thought a thought and then tried to review everything that happened in their mind.

For example, while im writing this im voicing it in my head and seeing the text in my mind as i type. next level, the text feels like its pressedinto a grey corner bleeding into a dark pillow like background,all of this happening in a location in my mind above my spine that feels like the pronunciation of "ch" and im blind. HAHAHA

I cant describe it and Im not crazy. an algorithm?

[itgrouptv]

actually yes, what you're talking about "Has anyone ever sat down and thought a thought and then tried to review everything that happened in their mind" is a very hot research area, broadly known as "cognitive psychology".

[RoxieMySox]

@itgrouptv I dont think he can read your response....hes blind

[rolandbeatz247]

We all have that ability! Somehow the accident unclock a part of his brain for him to caculate! This sounds similiar to a comic book strip of an ordinary person becoming a super hero sort of speak.

[icanrelate]

he probably can't calculate the dates before the accident because once it happened it unlocked something in his brain that allowed him to know and remember the dates exactly from then on. His brain wasn't the same before it got hit so he doesn't recall the days for the dates before. I don't think he's calculating them but its like he has a picture in his head of every day and date since then.

[michaelmooner]

i have a exam tomorrow. i asked my girlfriend to whack me on the head with a bat.

[Arrive2Defy]

The professor with the backwards hat looks ridiculous.

[gaiagale]

Why?

[SomeOneFromOFS]

if he can calculate the calendar dates, why can't he calculate the dates before his accident?

[smarypanty]

August 21 is a Wednesday, it's the day before Thursday and the day after Tuesday. It's also the day I typed this comment. Am I a savant?

[itgrouptv]

if you're asking this question... ummm... i guess not. but cheer up, maybe next life :P

[TheGhostOperative]

@smarypanty nope. ur a tool.

[watchjury]

can somebody please hit my head?? i hate maths

[ryanbert]

I was born on August 26, 1991!!! And it shows it in the video at 3:29!!!!

YAY!

I turn 17 this summer.

[veryfuck]

fuck the brain this mri scans say nothing.

they want to hack your brain never participate whit this devil docters from satan.

if you believe this shit you sell your soul too satan.

believe in your soul whe all have a soul the brain is only a tool for our soul to interact whit our body and the outside world

believe in yourself!! and you can do anything.

[itgrouptv]

Alleluia :P

[TheDarkSide599]

@veryfuck or you can be smart and not believe in all of that bullshit.

[MrGameposter]

@veryfuck I believe that every statement deserves an equally well-thought-out response.

With that in mind:

lawl r u a fukin retard?

[veryfuck]

@MrGameposter i think its just not a good idea to let scientist look into your brain and let them learn from it well you are perfectly healthy. it are always the rich people and big corporations who profit from this knowledge and use it to exploit the lesser endowed people.

[TheGhostOperative]

@veryfuck umm i believe i can fly??? lol jesus juice

[michel6]

@veryfuck You were hit in the wrong side of the brain, sorry.

[nykkyd1]

I used to work with Orlando and he really can tell you the dates and weather!
