  • Faith in humanity: Restored.

  • 00:58 - Sounds like THE GUY FROM ''SAW'' movies

  • Did any one else think of Spence Reid when they saw this ?

  • how idiotic is our society that when I type in "Kim" on the Youtube search bar, Kim Peek is not the first option, but Kim Kardashian is? ..

  • The only reason for people disliking Kim Peek is simple, they are poor souls who need attention.

  • Could someone please explain to us why the first part was blocked by Stanford University?

  • RIP, Big Guy

  • Why would anyone even dislike this video? Jealousy?

    This guy is awesome!

  • 1:00 what the hell is the guys from Saw doing in this video?

  • @nousername21 lmfao

    

  • humanity has some incredible bounds

  • He has a X5000 Nasa Brain.

  • I like the part when the Dr. said to push, and Kim leaned forward and said "Hi sir"

  • The beginning of the X-men

  • This guy is AMAZING!!!!

  • He visited our school, Price Harris, and it was really amazing and fun!

  • He has something like a 300 IQ in memory but the rest he's below 100...

  • yes... his memory compared to mine is like attobit against exabit...." a living google " ... you think you're better ... then congrats my friend ... my hats off.. : > )

  • RIP Kim Peek

  • Love that the comments are way above the IQ test...

  • this man is extraordinary, but hes no genius. he can just memorize insane amounts of information but cant put it to good use. einstein was the definition of a genius, he put is vast knowledge of math and physics to use and postulated to theory of relativity, kim peek can tell me the last pharaoh of the old kingdom.

  • No, I'll correct myself. Kim is not 'smart', he doesn't solve complex mathematical formula w/ lightning speed, he doesn't create music that vibrate our soul. The only thing that s great about him is his Encyclopedia Memory. Sadly, God need one that could talk to save himself time from reading so he called him back. Boo you God, we human need to study this man brain too.

    I wonder why nobody try to abducted his brain. I know I would if I can

  • Now imagine. One person that have a memory like Kim but of 'normal'. So it's like this, Kim memorize everythng but can't even handle a simple task. It make him a smart man, but he will be forgotten one way or another. And you can't argue with that because you know it's true, the best that people will remember hm by is when they pull up record for best memory. That's it. But what would happen if a 'normal' were to have this ability, let us hope they won't turn into an evil genius.

  • Probably the testing was so easy for him that he didn´t bothered with it.

  • humans learned- over time- to get dumber to be normal this was probably 1 in ever event?

  • @ivlark1 i bet he dont have reflexes? jw.

  • I love how he's so happy and makes jokes and everything, haha.

  • For some reason I find him really adorable...and he's such a nice man too!

  • Comment removed

  • Watch 'Powder'.

    Watch 'Phenomenon'.

    Watch 'Rain Man'.

    And then look around us and the world we live in.

  • @Beginningless Let's also not forget about another film and it's based on a true story. It's called Temple Grandin and she's an autistic who adapted and brought some incrediable changes.

  • @Marguerite21 Ok. I shall keep that title in mind. Thanx. :)

  • @Beginningless no prob. ^_^

  • his dad is amazing

  • Fuck Stanford.

  • He was butt ugly, did anyone else notice???

  • @Maloperverso He's probably better than you'll ever be. Why don't you pick on somebody your own intelligence? Oh wait, then theres nobody left.

  • 8:38 - "YESSSS"

  • He was a walking Wikipedia.

  • @erikals2 No. He doesn't carry false information.

  • @itsMsCoolPanda Oh. How about 'He was a walking encyclopedia'

  • the guy that talks at 01.00 isn't that jigsaw from saw?

  • @043maasje043 No, jigsaw is played by an actor named Tobin Bell. Their voices just sound similar.

  • @MrBKscrandy i was just joking relax, he does sound like him

  • Amazing!

  • I can't say I'M INSPIRED.

    INSPIRED TO DO WHAT?

    I'M JUST AMAZED. SPEECHLESS? YOU BET. NOTHING MORE.

  • I don't get the senior citizens joke lol...

  • gay balls university?

  • His dad is an amazing man

  • Speaks like Mr. Bean!

  • 5:35 : "push towards me". *pulls towards himself* "aye sir".

    Hilarious

  • whatever you may call him... he is better than me & most of us.... ; >)

  • @Einstien1879 Was... he died in 2009

  • @Einstien1879 Why is he "better" than you or most of us? What does make him "better"? What does "better" actually mean? What makes us "good" so he could be called "better"?

  • @antipersonDE well my friend for ONE they call him the LIVING GOOGLE before his demise... for ordinary mortal like me i find it hard even to remember the names of my friends in grade school.... : > )

  • @Einstien1879 So because you're not good at remembering your old classmates he's better than you?

  • Poverty.... SUCKS! 

  • the prototype of the next human evolution

  • this is fucking unbelievable...

  • When he started to sing, it actually made me sad to realize this lovely man isn't with us anymore.

  • human internet search engine?

  • Fran Peek is probably the greatest dad in the world.

  • "Goodnight Irene!!" :)

    RIP Kim.

    

  • an iq of 87 is no more "low" than 113 is "high". of course, it's all irrelevant.

  • His brother has to feel completely lost without him...

  • Jesus, this man is a library on legs!!

  • I heard that he didn't have autism.

  • gotta get those senior citizens out :]

  • Can someone tell me the Name of the first song that is played when the video starts?... please.... :)

  • Bill gates has really let himself go

  • @Mrdudemanguysir11 ......Not sure I would call him blessed. His brain did not develop correctly, it was actually deformed. The two halves were not connected by the Corpus Callosum as they should have been. As a result had attained 98% photographic retention of everything he read or saw. He also was unable to clothe, bathe, feed....basically take care of himself in any way shape or form. He was not a genius, he was by definition an aberration. No next-gen here at all.

  • @jerseynights08 ABERRATION!? HOW DARE YOU!!! I am appalled!!! I agree he was not next-gen in his disabilities, but we should, or better yet should have explored on how he was able to retain all this data in his brain and recall it with vivid clarity. Just a thought...

  • @Cannabizman do you know what abberation means?

  • Comment removed

  • uh oh

    

  • Rest in peace Kim

  • beautiful mind in a beautiful man

  • Such a sweet, sweet superhuman guy with a superhuman sense of humor as well.

  • R.I.P. Kim, humanity lost one gifted person.

  • JUST RESPECT!

  • r.i.p bud

  • doctor at 01:00 sounds like that old guy from Saw

  • it was as if he was having a go at the doctor :D

    that guy is a legend...

    dumb, but incredibly smart at the same time...

  • Somebody know the first symphony ?

  • I really really hope that he's now in a better place! It's one of the rare occasions that i'm wishing for after life

  • The day I watched this documentary first time, Kim Peek died the very next day. I never knew he was ill at that time and in the end of the documentary they tell how his father is worried about dying before his son. From what I understand, Kim fulfilled his father's desire. Rest in Peace Kim. We all love you.

  • He was a great guy..

    People like he is, are needed in the world.

  • @Pwnableful And what about his father. Great respect for the man!

  • she's a good woman

  • GOTTA GET THOSE SENIOR CITIZENS OUT

  • I'm trying to watch this but I can't pay attention with those stupid stars floating around every second or so! Bad bad editing of this documentary!

  • Why are all Sevat!!!!!! (I think thats how u spell it)

  • @Poseidon51295 Savant.

  • 5:35,, push push push ,,, hi sir

  • uhm 9:55 is a basic mathematical trick i could teach a 5 year old the same trick easily , it is not a product of his hyperthymesia.

  • wow

  • the truth bout dis guy- yes he's absouletly incredible with his facts, but has NO REASONing skills AT ALL- (like math) so hes not a genius- he only knows facts

  • @BigNigga64 He is still an incredible genius. Just because he can't do math doesn't mean he can't reason and that sure as hell doesn't take away his genius title. Thats like saying Einstien was a moron because he was bad at sports.

  • @FFXPWNShell no hes not a genius- you noe dis is the same guy who fell a sleep on his ACT test- dont be dumb bro- a genius can reason- THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE JUST MATH-but physics, and almost EVERYTHING- PLUS he took a standar iq test and scored a 87- so shut tha fuck up

  • @BigNigga64 gen·ius/ˈjēnyəs/Noun

    1. Exceptional intellectual or creative power or other natural ability.

    2. A person who is exceptionally intelligent or creative, either generally or in some particular respect

    Can you honestly tell me he does not have an exceptional intellectual ability? I used the real definition of genius. You used what you thought a genius was. I am extremely gifted in math and science. Top 0.05 (one in 2000 people) in math and top 0.5 (one in 200) in science.

  • @BigNigga64 And I would probably get a very low score on a standardized IQ test. "Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid."

    — Albert Einstein

    Likewise if you measure this guys intelligence by his reading comprehension or his work ethic of course he will come up short. Maybe you should think about that before you tell me to "shut tha fuck up" again.

  • @FFXPWNS i know you prolly would get a low iq score because yur not to bright kid- then wat do u measure a genius by then? get over it, hes made for jeapordy haha- but fuck no is he at all a genius- AND NOT JUST MATH! BUT EVERYTHING ELSE IN LIFE! exactly

  • @BigNigga64 At first I wondered about you. But now I am certain. You are the stupidest person I've ever met. The fucking definition of a genius is: "Exceptional intellectual or creative power or other natural ability." You can not tell me he doesn't have an exceptional natural ability. If we didn't have fucking moronic 12 year olds like you; the internet would be a MUCH nicer place.

  • @FFXPWNS please enlighten me on how YOU would measure the ability of a genius- zing bitch

  • @BigNigga64 I know you are a troll, a very obvious one at that. I am wasting your time and you don't even give a shit. You sound like a champ. And in case you're serious I stated that twice before so go read that.

  • abnormal hahaha

  • Dr Darold needs to clear his throat

  • hi sir.

    

  • Any names on the songs used at 1:07 and 2:45?

  • how does he fare with mathematical problems?

  • This shows what our brains are capable of...

  • Too bad I cant see a first part because "Stanford University locked that video in order to keep author's rights". (if I translated it correctly)

  • OMG EVERYBODY LISTEN as soon as you start this video mute it and open another tab and go to YouTube and type in "A Beautiful mind MV (soundtrack)" and play both videos together youll go crazyyyyyyyyy lol

  • I used to be a failing student in school. I am now in College and have turned my academia life around and must say I find these people awe inspiring and truly great. Our world really can be saved by these geniuses. I may not have been born this way, but I hope to work hard and attain as much greatness as universely possible.

  • gotta get those senior citizens out!

  • Well the guy would make a great assistant

  • @CADtekk did he out live his father, if not did he have to live/die in a home for the mentally retarded

  • @CADtekk he died? when, how

  • is his name "Rain man"? is he possesed? i dnt get it? or is he just smart

  • @policekiller305 There was a movie called Rain Man with tom cruise and Sean penn. good movie, check it out, and youll understand

  • @policekiller305 yea i seen it but the movie doesnt spicify, specially if u dont kno about baphomet, but still wat im sayin whats this documentary about? any1?

  • 5:36 - 5:41 LMAO X-D

  • 05:35 , i laught so badly xd

  • ty for the part 1

  • R.I.P.

  • This...is...madness...

  • wow e would be awsome as at who wants to be a millionaire

  • @zafar112233445566 knowledge and intelligence are like theory and practice. One is nothing without the other and the other nothing without the former. For example knowledge which would be an encyclopedia is NOTHING if there is no mind behind it. (Rain Man has this mind). Intelligence would be like einstein's mind that has no self-awareness, no feeling, no thought. Though the mind itself is FANTASTIC its nothing and does nothing with 0 knowledge. Both are dependent and its hard to say ">"

  • @zafar112233445566 I doubt his IQ is very high at all. I've taken a few real IQ tests put out by university (not the BULLSHIT online), like fat tests. And i've never seen that repeating number thing. However, IQ does not = intelligence. it AIMS to measure ability to react effective and quickly in a new enviornment or something along those lines. You see a lot of shape questions... and I doubt he'd score very high.. but IQ is a FLAWED and HUMAN created tool - not even close to absolute

  • They should have stopped off at Las Vegas, Nevada on the way to California...

  • "sorry i messed your golf game"

    :(

  • Hey everybody, check it out, @ 2:34 he sounds like Fitter Happier by radiohead.

  • he funnnny

  • @ 08:49 THAT LADY SAYS ONE OF THE MOST OBVIOUS YET PROFOUND SENTENCES I HAVE EVER HEARD IN ANY DOCUMENTARY I HAVE WATCHED THUSFAR

  • The Savant specialist sounds like he wants to play a game... ;)

  • if i was a doctor id be the wrong one to asses him cause id be laughing my ass off at 5:38

  • if he has poor problem-solving ability, then how does he do these mental calculations with the dates? I don't understand that.

  • sure he can remember, but he can't understand them. Sometimes life can't give full glory :\

  • I wonder about savants in the olden ages. 

  • Thumbs up if you would totally fail those tests...
