Beautiful Minds The Einstein Effect 3/5

[Krenisphia]

My social skills are very poor, but I'm not autistic. I'm not clever in any way. In fact, everything about me is poor.

[longfootbuddy]

the key to being a genius at anything, is to focus on it.. focus your energies on channeling what is there to be done.. when you start to lose this focus, and your mind becomes occupied to other things, or blocked through the interference of other things (and other people), you lose your mojo.. the info comes through you distorted, with errors.. your no longer a genius, holmes

[longfootbuddy]

its no different than being able to fling yourself over a rail and run down the road well. it comes naturally for some, but for others, it is hard.. to make up for their lack of just doing it, they try to figure out the best way to do it, but it never works well.. they hurt their arm, and awkwardly fall into the street below, twisting their ankle and limping down the road in a ridiculous girly run

[longfootbuddy]

just because people dont fit in a normal range or a thinking scale, i dont think they deserve to be called ass burgers...

[longfootbuddy]

schools goal is to mold you into what they want.. if you arent easily molded, youll have troubles.. hopefully theyll kick you out too!

[ninjatoothpaste]

They've only just managed to decode the brain's "inner eye" visualizations - it's still far from crystal clear but you can tell what it is - Tesla predicted that this would be possible, he predicted that it would be the preferred method of communicating complex ideas in the future - he had this idea somewhere between 1890 and 1930 - I forget the details, was some time ago that I read his autobiography. He had very clear signs of AS/D right down to counting his napkins. :)

listening to matt describe that roller coaster was just about the cutest thing ever. 

[aquahealer]

everyday life is confusing to matt becaue he can see that we do everything the wrong way! if we could only think like him, we'd be in a better much better world.

[TotalPerspective]

I hate this documentary. They keep saying that our brains have a "defect" but we' re just wired differently. These scientists need to stop being so arrogant especially when they find out that they owe so much to us alleged "defectives". >=[

[Scarlette333]

im not the only one that thinks that matts music just sounds like a bunch of noise right? it just sounds like someones banging on a computer and calling it music....

[susp1]

@Scarlette333 I agree! Horrible noise and they claim its music...pathetic! The sounds of flatulance after eating a can of beans sounds more like music than matts banging of the piano. I'm sure matt is a genius but I can't appreciate his genius because the music he plays manifests as pure noise to me...bummer. So I was hoping when they spoke to him, they would discuss something that impressed me..but no! They talked about roller coasters that any kid could have memorized..total bummer.

[RookieN08]

Issac Newton is a genius because of his unbelievable logic,imagination and curiosity just like most of the genius scientists and mathematicians.

[8scatterbrain8]

mozart did NOT have low social skill, same for j.s. bach but they're both geniuses :/

[lullulyn]

I love these series, I´m really glad I´ve found these on youtube, but PLEASE, does anybody happen to know the name of the music that appears at 5:04 ? I would really be grateful...

[bigDean636]

Someone needs to talk to Professor Gangsta about that hat...

[NewWorldOrderRED]

hmm is it just me or do the cross at 1:46 a few times. I mean look at 1:23 then at 1:33.

[Jcolinsol]

Doc Fitzgerald is a bit of a kook, innit he?

[FoxBatinaHat]

Add Glen Gould to the list of geniuses with Aspergers syndrom.

[Toolskyn]

Why would they call the wiring of brilliant people 'wrong'? There is nothing that sais that every brain should be the same. The opposite is true actually: no brain is wired 'correctly'. There are always minor differences, and that is actually a very very good thing. If that wouldn't be the case humans would be doomed from the start. So don't call it defect, just call it 'different in key locations' or something like that.

[el3ctr0nika]

X is a fucking insane coaster. I've been on it.

[Aprilshowersss]

I love Matt. I want a child like him.

[avrilinblood]

where can I get that with better quality? 10x in advance

[ihateyoujerkoff]

i was expelled from pre school ! does that make me a genius? and also, at 2:30, did he say ASS BURGER syndrome? i have that

[crunkedmonkey]

I wouldn't let a 40 year old dude with his his hat on backwards carry my groceries. These people are letting him switch off parts of their brain. Damn.

[Moh1Z]

@crunkedmonkey I'd like to try that thing. I wonder what it feels like to have a part of the brain shut off :D Plus I'd sure like to have some talents like these.

[ninjacruz]

@crunkedmonkey well, thats a good example of the preconceptions we build that make it very hard to stop those filters that keep us from these "savant" like minds.

[255ad]

I've watch one and a half episodes of this program now and I'm sick of the bloody endless repetitive background music

[finnwesjohn]

I would say more artists have manic depressive disorder than aspergers.

[starguts]

It really is a shame that there is all this talk of augmentation of normal thought processes, and not a single mention of psychoactive drugs. Many methods for becoming temporarily insane are already known.

I am a good scientist and fairly socially awkward (or at least abhorrent), but when I partake of certain mild psychoactive drugs, I am a minor genius and all social biases and arbitrary preconceptions are rendered meaningless.

[outtatime4you]

im very lightly autistic, im also the top biology student in the entire university of alberta, im going to find a cure for cancer, but the entire "savant" thing is very underlooked

[gr4nd7h3f731373]

As a top student in Biology, I would have hoped that you understood the meaning of cancer. Cancer is not just one biological disease, but many coming from different sources anatomically and physiologically. No offense but your comment only makes you sound like an idiological liar. The entire "savant" thing as you put it, comes from a Neurological problem. Neurology is still not fully understood to this day.

[fashanu1000]

@gr4nd7h3f731373 i hate bio but love physics and math

[neoman121]

@outtatime4you Let me know when you have the cure so that I can save one of my family members, you have about a year before it's to late.

[openeyes012]

no, he is deeply autistic. they described him as extremely sensitive to touch and certain sounds. it is in part 2/5

[gr4nd7h3f731373]

His name is Matt Savage, simply look it up and you'll find many sources to choose from.
