In my opinion, if humans use little bit more of his/her brane than it's usualy capable of,, then he will go crazy. god created us perfecty, human eye can take 10 pictures in 1 secound, but if we were able to take 15 pictures per sec, then we would have headeche all the time, because our branes can't handle it, because we are not Able to use more of our brane than we are let to.
@TheSupersojer I learned about this in my Motor Development class at the University of Windsor, I have no precise dissertations, I'm sure the internet has relevant studies.
What the fuck do you idiots think is smarter...A person who knows millions of facts from memory but can't do anything with it? Or a person who has horrible memory but can use his knowledge to create new things?
My 2.5 Terabyte harddrive can hold as much information as Kim Peek but like Kim Peek...can't do anything with it. So my harddrive must be really "smart"!!! gee...I wish I was as smart as a harddrive!!!
@logictroll242 Why don't you just shut the fuck up and stop insulting a dead man who had brain-damage? Kim Peek had an incredible brain.
What do you expect from him? He had severe mental disabilities. Leave him alone and fuck off! Yeah, your harddrive can store a lot of shit, but that's why they call him "Kimputer".
@JohnnyKubark Yes, Kim Peek had an incredible brain. I agree with you. It is an anomaly of human physiology but also testifies to the wonders and capacity of the human mind. We have more potential in our minds than we realize. Sorry for being mean earlier too.
I just like to be logical about everything and correct pple's concepts. :)
@logictroll242 I only read the last 2 or 3 of your comments but I have to say you're not entirely right, because for example, when you look at Daniel Tammet, he also suffered from mental disorders such as epilepsy (wich he says he almost died from, in the first time, on the Davide Letterman Show), and autism, however he also does have an incredible brain combined with memory and calculation (not the same as Kim since scientists say he can't reason).
@logictroll242 He can use his memory like learning a new language (like he did in the documentary) and fluently speak it and engage in conversations speaking that same language, so besides storing all the grammar from a specific language, he can actually use them, not to mention his amazing calculation skills.
Insane memory doesnt make someone "smart". Memorizing facts doesnt require that much intelligence...it's JUST MEMORY. If knowing a lot facts makes one smart my damn IPhone must be a fucking genius with it's 4G network and access to billions of articles. it too has a calendar that can go back 2000 years.
Only idiots equate "knowing a lot of facts" to high intelligence...idiots...
@logictroll242 You're saying Kim isn't really smart because your hard drive can do what Kim does, but isn't that like saying "Just because you can lift up a car, it doesn't make you strong, because a crane can also lift up a car"? Your argument is illogical; you're saying an ability isn't impressive if a machine is also capable of doing it.
@JohnnyKubark I'm not talking about Kim directly. I'm talking about people who think having an insane memory equates to a high intelligence. I'm not trying to insult Kim. I'm insulting people who think having a very strong memory makes one intelligent.
@JohnnyKubark wow, my point isnt "an ability isnt impressive if a machine is also capable of doing it". You're not so logical or "smart". A harddrive can store a lot of information but is the harddrive itself something smart? Being smart is not associated with how good a person's memory, it's about how the person can process and manipulate what he knows in his memory. ure still equating smart as having a large memory with your analogy. ur premise is wrong dumbass
I like that, in the suggestions, it says, "Daniel Tammet, The Boy With The Incredible Bra...". I am aware that last word continues an becomes "Brain", but I like it better the way it's listed.
@luffaren91 He scored 87 because he could not understand the way the questions were asked in the test. A special test was made for him and he scored 190+
@luffaren91 190's a pretty arbritary number. I could design a test and make the average score a billion. Sounds like the other person just made it up anyway.
@captain3xtreme That IS autism. Autism is a disorder where social skills are very undeveloped. These people are almost incapable of understanding the social codes that operate between people, and they don't understand irony or methaphors because they take everything they hear litterally. Kim was an autist, and one of the things that make him such an interesting person is that he is so handicapped in some fields, yet he has this incredible gift.
@misshorseman Kim was actually not Autistic. A study, in 2008 I think, showed it was FG Syndrome and he was missing a bundle of nerves that connects your right and left hemispheres.
@kasabri45: autism is a developmental disorder, not a retardation. also, the only person to be recognized as "smartest person in the world" was marilyn vos savant, and she was NOT autistic or "retarded".
@PooPoo2U Marilyn Vos Savant was never the smartest person in the world. Can you name any groundbreaking discoveries she's made? No. The assertion is silly.
@Dirtfire: She is the only person EVER to hold the designation of "Highest IQ" in the world. Whether she is the most intelligent, I doubt it, but I did say she is the only person ever DESIGNATED as such.
@PooPoo2U I've read that her IQ score was very inaccurate. Sure, Savant is a smart woman, but by no means the smartest.
Btw, having the name "Savant" is pretty convenient, isn't it? I don't think that's a coincidence. I think it was her name that made her, not the other way around as it was for Einstein and Tesla.
@chriske627 whoa, i'm not advertising my beliefs or non beliefs, im just saying, it is likely that a smart person such as the gentleman in the video, is an atheist
How is this possible? Do we know? It is amazing recall. I believe if he were to go even beyond his knowledge we would shed our bodies like a butterfly coming out of a cocoon. We use less then what 10% wonder what he was at 20% or more? amagine what 60 70 80% would be like. It is unreal what the mind is capable of.
@hotdog2020 We all use 100% of our brains. That 10 percent crap is just a myth. And this guy had actually pieces of his brain missing from birth which caused an anomaly that allowed him to do these amazing things. He had no reasoning ability though and he had an IQ below 75 which qualified him as being disabled. So yeah...it's not necessarily some amazing gift...it seems rather that all of the brain power was used to focus on certain areas...it certainly is interesting.
he can recall anything but he cannot put any of the things he learned into meaning and use it to create new knowledge so basically he really isn't a genius just Google in a human body
Perfect pitch, photographic memory, able to calculate the day on a specified date - yep, I say he's a genius. A genius comes in many forms, Kim Peek is one, no doubt.
@PrinceofCats999 He was mentally retarded, actually. Not that I want to rip on his abilities but he had no problem solving ability and could not take care of himself or understand the concept of such things.
i wonder when my savantism will come because im pervasive developmental disorder and i act like a retard but if you seriously call me a retard i will kill you and i mean literally kill you
@gearingc if anyone called me a retard seriously i would smash their face with my fist until they died, im pervasive developmental disorder autistic so im working on developing my savantism by studying math for at least 4 hours a day but only 2 during school days, its been a week now and i think i feel it developing
There is a clip somewhere where Kin and his Dad are travelling and talking about politics. Kim starts talking off-consensus, and starts mentioning war and how they are all contrived. His Dad switches topics pretty fast. I would love to see a video of Kim talking about Real History- after reading it all and shaving out the BS.
The intro narration says, "...Kim remembers everything as pure unfiltered data."
I think saying this might be a disservice to Kim, who was not a computer, but a human being. While it is true that he could remember things extremely well, does that mean that what was happening in his head was anything like what happens in a computer? Thought is something that we still don't understand, so jumping to such conclusions seems to me like bad form.
RIP... you will be missed... and if these is a god out there, I am sure you will have a long and interesting conversation. Good luck wherever is your soul.
@yes4me very true...he is just a child...who was given a brain like no other...yet he may not be the smartest man...he only has a photographic memory..which looks like he has the greatest photographic memory known to man...he must be jesus's brother or something :)
imagine if he was good looking and could communicate with people well, i bet he wouldent be considered as disabled then. autism is a beautiful thing that shows us what our brain is actually capable of. most humans only use 12 % of their brains
That's not true, it's a common myth. It has no basis in fact, humans use all 100% of their brain. Kim's brain can perform these feats due to malformations in his brain such as the lack of a fully developed Corpus Callosum (A bundle of nerves connecting the two hemispheres), in this case, neurons can form different and more numerous connections which can lead to increased memory (as in Kim's case).
Regardless, it's still amazing and wonderful that someone we considered disabled was so amazing. He made us alI look like idiots. I was so sad when I heard he passed away.
From what I've been reading he isn't actually autistic, he was just portrayed that way in Rain Man. He has a different sort of disability or something...
He is an idiot savant. I don't really know what's the difference, but I believe it has something to do with the way they can socialize with people. They can't really adapt ...
Ive he is going to be on who want to be a millionaire he would lose. The only thing they should ask is ''How do you feel''. Autist are having problems answering questions that can have multiple answers: open questions. But ive they would play fair he would kick their buts!

@yes4me very true...he is just a child...who was given a brain like no other...yet he may not be the smartest man...he only has a photographic memory..which looks like he has the greatest photographic memory known to man...he must be jesus's brother or something :)

one in a million? That's pretty numerous. That means there would be about 6,000+ people like him. He is one in 10 billion.

imagine if he was good looking and could communicate with people well, i bet he wouldent be considered as disabled then. autism is a beautiful thing that shows us what our brain is actually capable of. most humans only use 12 % of their brains
TheRitual24 2 years ago
That's not true, it's a common myth. It has no basis in fact, humans use all 100% of their brain. Kim's brain can perform these feats due to malformations in his brain such as the lack of a fully developed Corpus Callosum (A bundle of nerves connecting the two hemispheres), in this case, neurons can form different and more numerous connections which can lead to increased memory (as in Kim's case).

He wasn't autistic, he had something called FG syndrome. He's one of the few savants who wasn't autistic.

Regardless, it's still amazing and wonderful that someone we considered disabled was so amazing. He made us alI look like idiots. I was so sad when I heard he passed away.

From what I've been reading he isn't actually autistic, he was just portrayed that way in Rain Man. He has a different sort of disability or something...

He is an idiot savant. I don't really know what's the difference, but I believe it has something to do with the way they can socialize with people. They can't really adapt ...

Ive he is going to be on who want to be a millionaire he would lose. The only thing they should ask is ''How do you feel''. Autist are having problems answering questions that can have multiple answers: open questions. But ive they would play fair he would kick their buts!
