- Brain Man: The Boy With The Incredible Brain
An extraordinary documentary on the brainpower of Daniel T, the young Englishman who could be the world’s greatest mental athlete. Daniel is not just a calculating wizard, but also a memory champion and super linguist.
He speaks nine languages. Daniel, the oldest of seven children, has been able to do amazing calculations after an epileptic fit when he was 3 years old. He was even able to remember over 22,000 numbers in a public display of his ability. But how does he do it? Leading scientists explore the extraordinary world of this real-life Rainman. Daniel’s psychological make-up is explored by Cambridge University autism expert Professor Simon Baron Cohen who delves into his childhood experiences in an effort to explain his remarkable abilities. In America Daniel meets other extraordinary people like himself, known as “savants” -- including Kim Peek, whose story was the basis of the movie “Rainman”. Brain scientists at the Salk Institute in San Diego, including Professor V S Ramachandra, are astounded at his skills and discover the key to Daniel’s ability is his visual imagery which his brain “sees” when he hears a number, this condition is known as synaesthesia. To show it’s not just numbers Daniel can remember -- he also learns one of the world’s hardest languages, Icelandic, in just one week -- and gets interviewed on Icelandic TV after only 7 days of learning to speak it.

I was 95% through watching this when I realized I've watched this before.. I am blessed with Such an amazing gift.
i just realized it midway through after reading your comment
Same, but 5mins in. Hehe 😂😂😂😂
We're geniuses!!! 😂
Screaming
Lmfao 😭 thank god for this comments section
I remembered his name before they even told me it.
I tried to get out of my car today with my seatbelt still on.
😊
🤣
😂😂
These UA-cam comments kill me. I'm dead
@@PhDTracyWalker agreed! 🤣
For him to be this socially aware and articulate while also being able to flawlessly recite 5 hours of digits from memory is the most beautifully terrifying twists of genetics and brain chemistry I have ever seen
Well said. I completely agree.
We haven’t even scratched the surface of our brains capacity and ability. Only limited by our own prejudices and limitations. When we learn to optimize the full capacity of our minds the limits of achievement will be endless.
Every parent on earth could have a child with seeds of this capability with CONSERVATIVELY IMPLEMENTED 70+PERCENT MAJORITIES across the world AGREEING that the engineering and long term safety for the human germline are all fully baked. I give it 130 years
If only he could get the other gentleman to draw his #s
Both my parents were truly gifted. My mom had an eidetic memory and my father had a photographic memory. My mom could speak 4 languages and could read and write Latin before she learned English at age 19. My father would read books by scrolling his finger down the page on both pages and then my mother would take the book and turn it to a random page and say like page 257 second paragraph…. My father would recite word for word of that paragraph.
My older sister can write ambidextrous, simultaneously, mirror image of anything she hears spontaneously. She too remembers everything she’s ever read.
I’m like: “I can count to three!”
You're too cute.
You're the skipped generation lol
Don't they mean the same thing?
Blame the postman.
Maybe you do have a talent, you just haven’t discovered it yet.
If any of you guys are wondering where's Dan now, he's gone up in the world. He does talks, writes books, and still inhumanly genius.
I call BS...have never seen him on Countdown.
/s
What types of books and do you know the titles?
na. he's been swallowed up by an AI system at windows.
@@bubbaguy4411 ya got that rrrighttt
@@margaretmorris4419 Non-fiction, essays and poetry. Look up Daniel Tammet.
Instead of spending years studying him, how about give him the resources to come up with something to help everyone, push our species forward. If he's got this great mind, let him go off in whatever direction he wants.
But that would cost money..
They won’t really listen to the missions( or they can’t understand) they prefer to do what they love to do
To think in another aspect, a lot of them are struggling with not being able to communicate properly. This problem ( or sometimes considered gifts but are very rare) is genetic and if people suffer more than profit from it, scientists should work on how to make their lives better because some of them still want to be normal even it means losing their “gifts”
its because they dont want him to reach his full potential
@@89gsmith Oh BS. Why would anyone be that way? The reality is that with people like this, although they have a special "power", they aren't particularly special in other aspects of intelligence.
The incredible thing is that Daniel is able to clearly articulate what he sees, feels and experiences. The fact that he can relate to other people, interact with them and share a joke makes him quite unique. Especially considering his early school years, where he preferred to be alone, immersed in numbers and patterns. As an educator, I find this fascinating. I wonder what he is doing now? I hope life has been good to him.
I bet it had something to do with having a large family. He appears very well adjusted and highly understanding of what drives other people. I'm sure he finds interactions interesting.
Check Wiki Grace
@@Handlebrake2 I am shocked and dismayed by your response. I have no desire to 'track' Daniel down. I have simply expressed admiration for him and hoped that he is doing well. Have a nice day.
@@Handlebrake2 horrible, awful response.....
@@Handlebrake2 horrible...
My 6 year old grandson is autistic. By age 2 he could count to 100, knew all his colors and many animals. Now he speaks English, Tagalog, Ilonggo and Spanish. Sometimes he uses words from all languages in one sentence. While his social interactions is very limited he has an amazing mind!
Yawn
@pornsakpongthong1092 why bother reading if your minimilistic bird brain burns out after reading a single paragraph.
My mom has amazing brain too. She remembers all the mistakes I've done and recites all of them when she's upset HAHA
Hershe Fe Saloma
🤣🤣😂😂
☔️☔️☔️☔️
Your mom must be related to my ex 😂
😂 😂 😂
Haha, well played.
But never the good things,, nahh she's a not nice mum lol!
I actually went to secondary school with Daniel in the 90s and sat next to him in maths class. Now, can you imagine how bloody difficult that was? I used to think I was utterly stupid when he finished the questions in seconds! This explains a lot!!
JOHN ARCHER Though, did you use the initiative, to copy his answers?
You shoulda asked him for the answers haha.
I feel you bro lol
Same
😂😂😂😂
Love Daniel, what a trooper to allow himself to be subjected to these tests and interrogations, especially when it makes him uncomfortable, I take my hat off to you sir live well Daniel !
lol bro what are you talking about. why would he not participate in the tests. you make it sound like they treat him as a mutant and hold him against his will. life is not an x-men movie, bro. learn to mind your business dummy, no offence.
Our son was doing extensive math at 2. He was diagnosed with Autism at 3. He also did "writing in air." Today he is a Doctor.
I'm son is 3 and he always air writing I try to stop him everytime I see it n he gets upset
@@Kingjay19 Why are you trying to stop him?! I’m autistic and you should let him be. His air writing is probably his way of coping with the world!
My son is 2 months and he passed calculus
@@stevenscummy1458 my son is one Yoctosecond and he is studying complex analysis
@@your_averageboi9083 when my son was an embryo, he noticed a growth inside me and successfully carried out surgery to fix the issue
I was fortunate enough to have interviewed Daniel over the phone and he was kind enough to send me a copy of his book "Born On A Blue Day". He is not only unique for his "gifts" but is also a very kind person.
That’s wonderful, I was wondering if you could let me know how to contact him through email? I would love to get a copy of his book for my son, he also has epilepsy and it’s always nice to know he’s not alone. And this is such an amazing story. If so I can send you my email. Thanx
I'm not a wizard with numbers like a mathematician but I am a solver of problems. I was curious about what Daniel might think of a system that could save 10-20% of the world's GNP. It was something of the greatest importance I discovered working an accounting problem 20 years.
Thank you so much
Michael Gfroerer You are so lucky !! I am absolutely fascinated when I hear stories like Daniel’s ! I will look for his book ! Thank you for sharing that you interviewed him. It must have been an amazing phone call 😊👏🏻👏🏻
Yes I would love to meet him.
I have this amazing ability that every time I try to multiply two large numbers I immediately fall asleep.
Uncle Putin Best Comment!!!! 😂😂😂😂 thanks
you are truly gifted. you're just like the rain man
Hahaha hahaha hahaha
lol..best comment ever
Its 3 am and you made me laugh out loud lmao
"one day you'll be as great as I am" how beautiful is it to say that Rain Man truly loves himself and thinks well of himself? I would love to have his self confidence.
My son is 4 years old, he was diagnosed in October 2023, he's autisitc. He's also speech delayed. My boy can count to 100, without having to think which number comes next, he is now going past 100. He can spell over 50 words. The longest being 12 letters. He can write in sentences. Knows all of his colors and can spell them. Once he hears it or sees it, its in his mind and he doesnt forget. I can say a word that i haven't shown and he can spell it correctly. I believe my boy is advanced
I like your story. I just make a suggestion, maybe reconsider using the term gifted for your son. It appears that he's advanced. You've also described him as having delayed development in other areas.
@paulraymond1804 thank you, I'll keep that in mind, hard to keep up with correct language
@paulraymond1804 yeah he's a delayed in speech, late talker, getting new words out by the day but it's jumbled.
OMG , my 29 years old son is Autistic, he was diagnosed when he was 4 years old , in the school he didn’t interact to much with the others kids, instead he was completely concentrate in trees 🌲, looking at them with such a careful way , and he started to drawing so beautiful, it’s like a photography, and he have a great love for any animals and creatures, and he never has been scared of them. Now he is 29 and he adores me, he doesn’t have friends only his young brother, and he can explain wonderful things about animals and creatures. My only worry it’s when I’m not longer in this world 🌎 😢.
🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️
Wow, this description of your son sounds exactly, and I mean exactly, like my autistic cousin who is 22-23 years old.
I can relate to this so much! I'm 32 now... But I remember when I was in school I wasn't very social with the other children. I was always alone looking at trees and plants. Also a huge fascination with animals of all kind ... Particularly horses (I love horses)... I have a weird way of remembering places (locations) and people. Like having a map inside my head. I'm terrible with numbers though... But very artistic.... Never been diagnosed autistic but have had teachers think I possibly was. Not sure though.
@@candenscales6855 ♥️❤️🙏
Don't worry about when your gone, you've taught your son all the wonderful & beautiful things you know and he will never ever forget them! 💞
after 29 min. knew that I watched this twice, that's how good my memory is -.-'
Hahaha,am dead
you're one of those people that understands quickly but after along explanation
Namuleme Sumayyah
Yeah i am xD
I understand everything we do in school...AFTER we wrote the tests :/
holy shet, same. i noticed at the chinese kids part
TheCatMurgatroyd LOL Everytime I watch this I get to a point where I forget what I'm watching or I see something I don't remember. Getting old
ember
What an amazing and humble man. The fact he even praises people who are basically chidren to him makes him 10x more likable. I'm glad he married and successful now. He deserves it.
I wish I could remember 1/4 of the things I learned over the years and forgot already. he is AMAZING!
I love how Daniel is humble and so likeable as a person. He doesn't look down on those who don't share his ability. His excitement over meeting the "real rainman" was touching. Imagine the loneliness of being one-of-a-kind, and now, he meets a fellow who shares the simple understanding of how it feels to be massively gifted in ways marvelous to others.
It's ironic how this is a show about a incredibly smart person ... Meanwhile all the people watching are massive idiots who think this clearly staged programme is real. Lool
What surprised me was how tactile, how "touchy-feely" Kim Peek was. In cases of autism, shrinking from physical contact is often an early indicator. Despite Kim's apparent autistic characteristics, he was all over Daniel!
@@speshalkmf9273 it's a real condition. I don't see any reason to refute it. His abilities I wouldn't call impossible or even necessarily difficult to learn but still difficult to do. Most people would probably not take the time to perfect it. Seems he takes his abilities to a bit of an OCD level.
Well he is intelligent, that's what make him humble, intelligent makes you lose ordinary human emotions like anger, rage, jealousy, greed etc .
@@speshalkmf9273 aaa
*meanwhile I'm pulling doors that say push on them*
😂
🤣🤣🤣😁👌
It's ok if you pull doors this guy is on a different level he's got a gift.
😂Hehe
Very cool, very funny.
I've definitely experienced some of the things he's talked about, albeit to a lesser degree. I recall being very young, and when someone would ask me a random math question, instead of consciously thinking, the answer would just come to me-it seemed almost automatic. However, my skills are mainly linguistic, as I am quite adept at learning multiple languages. As of writing this, I've started studying over 50 languages and plan to continue on past 100 eventually.
That is incredible. I am incredibly envious. I hope you get to use them by travelling the world
WOAH! Can you make me an AMA for reddit? Would love to know more about your gift, if you're open to that. I haven't heard of this type of gift before and I'm sure there may be researchers who want to work alongside you, again only if it's something you are interested in this type of thing. If you are out doing your own thing that's totally fine too! Just wanted to learn the range of human gifts that exists in the world and then maybe take some time to explore my "average" skills and learn to appreciate that too lmao
This man was a living modern search engine. Truly Incredible. Makes you wonder how and why these people are unknown today
The 2.6k dislikes are people who were hit in the head and didn't get these powers
And is further proof how ignorant people are with their minds on the wrong things.
No. He’s been outed as a con artist by some people. Don’t get me wrong, this guy is really intelligent and incredibly good at memorizing things, but he’s no savant and he has no superpowers. He uses memorization techniques that can be learned by ‘regular’ people. The world record for most Pi nummers remembered is also held by a ‘regular’ person. If you look into his past he has changed his name before to rebrand himself.
Nah. They're just too dumb to click "like" and click the wrong one.
it might be because the so called experts are the retards......not pleasant watching the so-called scientific method applied by tiny boxed in minds to people like Daniel and the others. i've got a problem with them, not the savants
@@heru-deshet359 Even if they clicked the wrong button they can just click the like button again for it to change. So yeah that reason won't just cut it.
These are the real people who matter not celebrities

fascination
regardless if society is able to use it or not
So true!
David Tector Einstein also helped pave the way for the atom bomb, just saying.
In 1962 at university an Indian woman spoke to us. She could do logarithms and calculations very like this boy in seconds in her head. Amazing.
My son is not a genius, but he started reading words at age 3 and reading at age 4 on his own. He has never been to a daycare. When he started pre-school, he knew how to read. His teacher is amazed. 😊
This is awesome
That geniussss!!!
3 is not that young in many countries kid start kindergarten at 3 and 4
I can answer twice as fast as him. Numbers all wrong , but quick as heck .
That's very unlikely that ALL numbers will be wrong. If you get all numbers wrong, every time you do such a test, that would mean you have special powers.
Test
😂😂😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Bernie Anders That statement is not really all that true, I can quickly estimate numbers from the math problems they were asking him. Getting an exact answer is where i spend most of my time, but to get every number wrong would not be too large of a challenge in my opinion
You are so funny😂
Finally, someone famous for being smart.
what you mean finally?
Are you saying all the great philosophers and mathematicians from the past were famous for being dumb?
@@JonahWoods I will answer you with 2 words: Kim Kardashian
@@m2y8v what about her? You said "finally someone famous for being smart", not dumb ? Were those people I said, actually dumb? I'm confused
@@JonahWoods Let me elaborate, my point is: nowadays people are just famous for being famous, famous for their looks, money, or status, not for their intelligence.
This is an amazing story, gifted and a genius. Most times it amazes me greatly how I moved from an average lifestyle to earning over $63k per month, Utter shock is the word. I have understood a lot in the past few years that there are lots of opportunities in the financial market. The only thing is to know where to invest…
I agree with you and I believe that the secret to financial stability is having the right investment ideas to enable you earn more money, I don’t know who agrees with me but either way I recommend either real estate or bitcoin and stocks..
I keep wondering how people earn money in financial markets, i tried trading bitcoin on my own made a huge loss and now I'm scared of investing more..
@@oliviajane269 That won't bother you if you trade with a professional like *Mr Gary Mason Brooks* my consultant. I found him on a CNBC interview where he was featured and reached out to him afterwards. He has since provide entry and exit points on the securities I focus on. I basically follow his trade pattern and haven’t regretted doing so..
@@izagdlife You allow people to trade for you? that's interesting, I would love to learn, hope it’s safe..?
@randy bridget This is the Fourth time I'm seeing someone talking about Mr Gary as there are lot of testimonies about him, do you know him ? if yes , did you invest with him?
Super genius! Thank you, Daniel. Thank you so much for this excellent and comprehensive documentary! Brilliant work!💗💗💗
AMAZING! Have you noticed, he has NO conceit or arrogance about his ability'. He "IS TRULY HUMBLE!"
I think because it comes with serious limitations too and he lives with those every day.
Intellectually gifted individuals do not think of themselves as intelligent, while the most imbecilic ones often consider themselves geniuses. That premise is quite paradoxical, isn't it? Unfortunately however, it isn't a matter of opinion, it's just human psychology.
Monty Beetle: it is just your opinion which is completely wrong, intelligence doesn't shape your character in any way, and yes intelligent people know they are intelligent, they should find out in their childhood, anything else has nothing to do with it, you are talking about empathy and self-awareness
Even the bullies could not figure him out,
Linda: I am very proud of how humble I am. Some have called me a sociable hermit, but that would be an oxymoron because hermits are anti social.
I knew a girl like this that was crazy. I had a huge crush on her and tried asking her out many times but her social skills made it confusing. We were in a band together, her talent was with noise, she said she saw sounds and couldn’t hear them. When you would talk to her she would stare through you and would take 5-10 seconds to respond, she said when you talked she would have to read the words you say in her head, which is why she responded slow. Where it made her insane talented was with instruments, she could pick up literally any instrument, watch someone play it for a few min and then she instantly could play it amazingly. A week of practice on a brand new instrument and she would be at legit professional levels in about a week. And she was so cute too
Wow, that would be such a great talent, imagine what animals she can hear/see the sounds in her head, she would literally be like Dr Dolittle, she would also be able to tell if people were lieing, because they would say things differently and she would pick up on it while looking at the word, it may be slanted, or a different size or colour, she could tell whats wrong with a car by listening to it idle. If she could mimic stuff.....WHOA, thats another can of crazy things she could do, imagine how great your life would be, imagine how horrible it would be. I hope she has good people around her, Go ask her out Mitch, if she says no you can always tell your self she is literally crazy to reject you
I'd like to know if she made anything of it
That sounds like she has synesthesia!
Are you still in touch with her?
watch out for the crazy hot ones bro
Wow, these men are so unbelievable. I am so happy that I watched this show, cause I really n3ver knew their were people out there that can do these genius things in their heads. I am literally floored. That's so amazing!
Couldn't help but have biblical imagery of Daniel in he Lions Den with some of those people testing Daniel. He is an amazing young man-so kind and well spoken. Whatever his abilities or disabilities, he is wonderful and I would love to be friends with him. His parents did a great job with him because his manners and kindness are spot on! I wish him all the best in the world and much happiness.
People like Daniel have existed throughout history they are often not treated with the respect they should have.
Jeremy Reagan yess i agree
By what standard of respect do you make that statement?
Why should I respect him more than the guy who mops a truckstop bathroom? Kim Peek, the real life rainman, couldn't take care of himself. Do you think I should respect him any more or less than a young mother who never finishes highschool or college so she can work to provide for her kids?
giantpune lol, that’s not the type of respect Jeremy was talking about. 🤭
giantpune Throughout history people like Daniel have been lost to time because people with rare conditions were often tossed aside from society. They lacked respect because society thought they were weird. Imagine having severe autism in the middle ages, people would think you were crazy even though you might have had an amazing mind that could remember everything.
And not a shred of arrogance.. what an amazing human being he is. God blessed this man tremendously. 🙌🏼🙏🏽
Nah, Daniel is just that good
@@ryanspangler4569 Of course he is. God blessed him. (Shrugs). Duh.
@@ryanspangler4569 😉
Amen! 🙏
I think God has already blessed Daniel with both sides, brilliance and humility.
45:25 "it's almost beyond. It's not human." is how I felt the entire video. Beautifully said.
I've experienced that if I don't "try" too hard to think about things, solutions come very easily, quickly and naturally. I can repeat patterns I've only briefly seen, as long as I just "go for it" instead of actively "trying" to remember it. Basically I have to not give myself time to second guess something that feels akin to an intuition.
But it's super hard to allow that to happen consciously and let that state of mind flow, the moment you control or check your result, it's gone and the mind easily wanders and wants to be in control.
I believe this guy has a natural ability to trust what his subconscious is telling him.
I wish it's something I could figure out how to tap into on demand, it's such a useful ability.
I was born with the amazing ability to forget. In fact I forget what I I forgot.
forgetting is 99% of the battle!
😁 amnesia.
Hehhehehe 😂😂😂 guilty
Me af 🙄😅
Funnny😂😂😂 i can so totaly relate.
The most amazing thing about Daniel is how socially normal he is.
That's the most average thing
@@tjdunham6159 I hear you. We aren't disagreeing. My pointis that among the brilliant people his personality and social skills are an extreme outlier.
I was thinking about that, I wonder if that has something to do with being in a large family, growing up with 8 siblings provides much more opportunity for learning from social interactions than if he only had 1 or 2 siblings, and he has the ability to recognize patterns, so he had a chance to learn what made others unhappy
@@brandyfinley4957 Probably a factor. I think a big part of it is that this guy simply has a gift. It usualky comes with severe social limitations. In his case, it didn't.
Yes he is amazing
You gotta love it. One of the brightest minds the world has ever seen… and he’s tutoring students
Division and multiplications are a hallmark of nature. So is communication in all forms. The connection between his brain and nature is almost air tight. Phenomenal!
The best thing about him is he is very humble and does not have any false attitude. Kudos brother.
My brother is a savant. It's very difficult to describe how a family, my sibling and especially my parents deal with my brother on a daily. The conflict of being proud and amazed coexist with embarrassment and sadness. I give my parents an unconscionable amount of gratitude for hanging in there. My brother Ron is very difficult but if you need to "phone a friend" if you ever find yourself on Who Wants to be a Millionaire, my beautiful brother would never fail you...but don't expect a hug, he will freak out...its the most anti social behavior I've ever witnessed. We love you Ronald, we love everything about you my dear brother❤❤
That was so sweet and real. He's lucky to have you too.
Thanks for sharing this, you make me cry
Such a beautiful comment…that you see him for the amazing soul that he is is a testament to your family’s inner beauty as well.👏👏💕🇨🇦
💚💚
Beautiful testimony, Lorraine.
I remember i had synesthesia as a kid. Every smell had a shape. I remember trying to explain it to my mom and sister and they're reactions were... rude lol. They didnt mean to be but they thought it was very weird, and so i focused on ignoring it and eventually grew out of it. There are a few smells that still have shapes like lemon is arrow shaped, and gasoline is a curve.
The fact you lost that wonderful gift makes me sad
I learned I had Synestia in my late 20s and I cried. I thought everyone experienced the world like this. But it made so much sense because I could now understand the funny looks I got from people and all the times I got in trouble as a child(Mostly for not paying attention). I often got called weird and had a hard time making friends. I often feel like I have something else undiagnosed. But as far as Synesthesia goes, at least my inner world is a little more interesting. Now I only wish I was as good at math as this guy!
You have autism bro. Look into the cutler protocol.
He seems like such an innocent soul. When he's told he's correct, he is childishly pleased with himself. Very humbleing.
😘
©€€° P™atricia G™illigan ®€€°
He's very gifted as well, continue to be proud of him.
I would like to tell this young man that I greatly admire his polite and gentle manner. He is the type of person that everyone, would be pleased to call, a friend!
Thank you for showing others what being a good man is all about. Best of luck to you sir, and may you have joy and happiness in all you see and do.
This fellow's name is Daniel Tammet. Link to his interesting wiki page: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Tammet
I agree, he seems to be peaceful and cheerful
He would make a good President
The boy with the incredible brain is now the man with the incredible brain. I pray he is enjoying his life to the fullest extent.
Talent AND graciousness. Always a beautiful combination no matter what the circumstances.
I love how Daniel is often the bigger person in a social situation and together with the realization that he is supposed to have social issues is remarkable.
I know some people who have been diagnosed with illnesses that are supposed to lessen their social capabilities, but I think their awareness of this makes them work harder than other people on improving their social capabilities. And also, I agree with you.
nothing like another super genius documentary to make me feel inadequate in the morning :,(
We are all a genius at something, the key is finding what that something is.
Queen Nonya good point . Well made
@@queenli3047 It's a nice sentiment but some people are just all around dumb 😂
All I can think of is that this man has the most beautiful voice I've ever heard.
out of all people I am thankful that this guy has the ability he is so humble & chill
Besides his humble attitude he is helping science by undergoing all sorts of tests and examinations, even brain x-ray. The person is on another level in many ways.
I think a thorough CT scan combined high resolution MRI could extract more information from the structure of his brain than an x-ray.
TRUE ENOUGH, BRO, BUT I STILL THINK NIKOLAI TESLA BEATS ANYONE, EXCEPT FOR JESUS HIMSELF!! (IT'S A PITY WE CANNOT SPEAK PERSONALLY WITH EITHER ONE PRESENTLY, YOU KNOW??!)... 👍👊✌️
And I can’t even remember why I walked into a room....
that's called the doorway effect.
Basically the effect is because your brain is overwhelmed by all the new sensory simulation that your reason for entering the room is lost in all the new information (obviously this is a very simplified reason but it's the general idea)
yeah
I cant remember what my reply was gonna be.
Donut Dude, Makes me want to get rid of some more stuff.
Daniel is an survivor in connection to learning math and reading skills that is wonderful to see and hear about daily.
Such a beautiful story. The world in its pervasive 2020 - 2022 darkness needs to share and breathe in the wonder and spectacular gifts that the world has. Shed light on the positive, give our children a reason to strive forth utilising each other's gifts to fix our planet. Thank you Daniel for sharing your story
Ask this man to help decipher ancient languages, I think he could do it.
Make him do it! This is too important for permission. Like taxes.
That is a brilliant idea!!
Yes! In a week

It is about this society: get better, be something ... and when you are something from the beginning, it appears "unfair" to the others and some of them will try to destroy you... personal experience.
Extraordinary people usually have hard times, especially during childhood, but more often even beyond. I have recently seen a video about Albert Enistein, the greates genius of all times. He not only invented theory of general relativity, he also gave birth to quantum mechanics thanks to his photo-electric effect (and he got Nobel price for it, not for relativity).
What about saints? Look into history, we have killed them all because they were special. These days, we bully those genuises. It is a shame.
Aeternus bitch are you serious? hes a genius how could I even do any better than him
@ Dr.Cookies.... Please clarify.... You cited an example of a man with "no limbs".... Do you mean to say he had no arms and NO LEGS and still managed to brush his own teeth and his own hair ? ? ?
.. I was just kidding around ;)
ncf1 u cracked me so hard lmao
I met Kim Peek and it was amazing to be in the same room with him. I was very sad when I heard of his passing.
The content of this doc is incredibly meaningful. Production value extremely high. The way you guys presented it, unmatched. I've seen thousands of docs, a real doc junkie; and this one of best ever. Phenomenal. Daniel, what a remarkable human being! And pretty smart too. Story told so beautifully. American Beauty soundtrack running alongside at times, icing on cake! Thank you!
The brain is a strange, magical piece of engineered wonder, that can do things beyond our imagination , that we don't even know yet. Im 57, i couldn't draw a stick man if my life depended on it when i was younger. I wasn't artistic at all. My mom would put my pictures on the fridge backwards. About 20 something years ago, i fell off my mountain bike after crashing into a telephone pole or vice/versa, woke up in the hospital not knowing what happened. Doctors said good thing i had a helmet on or i would of been a lot worse or dead. My helmet had a big crack in it from the crash. Long story short, i started drawing after that. Every where i looked i was seeing the beauty in things and drawing them. I started making things masks, native arts ,wicker,wood,metal my mind was seeing whats inside of these materials and saying make this. Some days its over whelming ,i get so many idea,s in my head it hurts. So all im saying is , was it from the bang on the head or something else, i dont know, but im okay with it. M.
I think I need to bash my head on a tree or something!
@@craigwilcox4403 Think that over carefully, dont rush into these things.
Beautiful gift to yourself Enjoy your experience.
@@FaithNouri I am so far , thank/you. M. { Hope i dont bang my head again } Lol.
That's great news!
I am 85yrs old and watched him on You Tube....everything i could find on him..his voice makes me give full attention to what he is saying.in the last 6 months and as i read ,it was his voice i was hearing as if he was reading to me.Some of his books went over my head and i have tried to re-read.His first book Born on a Blue Day i have read twice .read it in one day!...i am just a average guy but reading is my passion i Daniel to be fascinating..
Thanks, im glad I have a book to look for.
Best wishes : ))
Keep reading ... it's a great way to keep the human mind sharp! Word puzzles are good too. 👍
I have a few Facebook friends who I think of as locked in. Not in a bad way. They are just so good at what they specialize in but seem to lack normal emotional involvement. They block out all divergent thoughts and center so well. One is autistic but high functioning. The other writes constantly on just about everything but becomes upset if challenged by others. I could never be close to either of them but do respect their love of what they are obsessed about. My nephew easily went through pre-med at Rice University but then stopped all college when he realized it would involve interaction with others. Even research takes collaboration. So he now does nothing but what he wants to do. His play with the invisible sword went on into adulthood often using a coat hanger for hours. He would hide under the desk where it was safe he would say. He thought could be very rude and self-centered to anyone he feels is inferior in intelligence. I feel there are a lot who fall into these categories. * Such an interesting young man in the video. He seems to have no defects in other areas of his life.
I am so happy to have founf this video today. What an amazing man, what a beautiful meeting and connection - between the two gentlemen savants. I am fascinated. Please World cherish these two beautiful minds/souls.
Has anyone male or female reached the end of this video and NOT fallen in love with Daniel?❤ My mind is blown.
He’s so humble, too.
I like how as a savant, he is still a very sociable person. Indeed, he is very fortunate to have been born with such abilities and still function in a way that he can easily relate to people and function like an ordinary person.
You can see he is slightly awkward, but very very highly functional. There's people out there like me who are already socially awkward and stupid af. Yes. He's very lucky indeed.
@Nerian That's not how it works. Notice that he was at school with lots of other kids, too, and didn't interact with them.
He wasn't born this way. The story reports him having a major onset of seizures.
From 4y and his diagnosis of epilepsy he saw numbers in image's and texture's... like his perceptions are calibrated through numbers.
He is so gifted ...its so sad that in Africa we have such gifted people but the nature of communities make it very difficult for one to be recognized and appreciated . Wel wonderful Mr Dan .
Hopefully this comment isnt just written off, but.. the only times in my life ive experienced something close to as profound as daniels abilities, as an ordinary person, was after taking psylocibin.. (magic mushrooms), i really REALLY would love to know what could be achieved if someone like Daniel had an experience like this! Only those who have had this experience will understand what im talking about here..
Yes, I had an incredible experience with magic mushrooms and also with ketamine.
probably never be the same,
@@jeffstratton8838 Of course, and no doubt more than he was before.
I have a 37 yr old son who suffered brain injury the day of his birth. He can remember what we did, what was said, the weather and what we ate out of the blue he will tell s story about a day in the far past and we have a family of 6 and one of us can usually verify a part or two of his recounting. He was challenging in his teens and early 20's. But for about 15 yrs now, he has been an absolute pure joy for his father and I. I wish everyone could know him. He is sweet, funny and complete love. I feel very blessed. I was so attached to the movie Rainman even before we knew he had special abilities. As I get on in age, he is my memory. Because ironically mine is getting worse and worse in the short term. I'm fine with long term. Life is awesome!!!! I;ll always have someone who loves me. Lol 😂
I am a savant too .lack of oxigen at birth I see multiple scenarios and the probability of what could happen.
My baby girl was delivered by emergency c-section three months ago today after being starved of oxygen when I suffered a placental abruption and the hospital and the ambulance service between them left me almost three hours before attending to me. She was born with no heartbeat and all in all took twenty minutes to revive and was still completely unresponsive and suffered seizures on her first day of life. She spent 9 days in intensive care after being on a ventilator and having induced hypothermia treatment to preserve her brain cells.
She seems to be developing well, but cries an awful lot and won't be without me. If she isn't nursing she's screaming for me. There are concerns about high muscle tone which could be a sign of cerebral palsy.
Now it's just a waiting game to find out how much of our daughter is left after her brain injury. While I'd be lying if I said I wasn't still hoping for my little girl to be normal. If she does have lasting brain injury however, I hope whatever has been taken from her, she's been given as much of something else in return like your son. 💚
Thank goodness you guys believe him, I’m married and I can remember being married to the same woman and kids several times, but as for me I can remember at 18 months old climbing on top of a railing on the second floor of a house that was a foster home for me, I actually remember a NDE event happening. My family right now if I told them what happened and how I remember all this they would have me committed. They actually have me on a pill to knock me out at night. I almost remember several past lives, and that scares the crap out of me.
@@heartofthunder1440 verify what you can in reference to your apparent reccolection, and incorporate it into your own self image.
What matters most is your own sense of self, because at the end of the day it's YOU who, right now, has his turn at the mearbag, regardless of who YOU happens to be. Translating yourself to others cones second.
@@matthewlawton9721 I believe I understand what your message is trying to point out, basically just for me to be aware of who I am truly to myself, and try not to explain to much to my family that wouldn’t understand it anyway, or make that a secondary choice to explain it to them on their terms instead of mine?
my son was diagnosed as autistic 8 months ago. he is 16 now. since he could talk his memory is beyond belief. if we are going somewhere 200 miles away were we have only been once when he was 4. .... 10 years later he's like a human sat-nav and tells us where the lay-by is and mcdonalds and left / right..... it's scary
@WNCarmy just monotone...
This is me mum n dad wud always het lost I'm like go to the castle and the 3rd exit on the round about lost same place every time aba
@@barrysmith4588 yea good memory is pretty common with autism. quite scary tho, im autistic aswell and good memory has made my life quite a bit harder
Im sure it was not easy to bring him up...the autistic children have a geniality in them but are difficult to deal with...
@@paulfaigl8329 ehm
Remember watching this back in 2016 and I was amazed. I had always been a good student but this blew my mind. He's also a very nice person it seems and very sociable.
This was incredibly fascinating.
I had several serious head injuries as a child and I turned out remarkably average.
I got bit by a spider and never got Spidey senses.🤘
You're good in my book fam!
😂
@Xyz Abc It's not against them either. That could have ended up making them dumber. The universe was neutral and let them break even 😂
Same.
He is precious. A real jewel of humanity. What a joy this was to watch!
agree
It was wasn't it... Real live x-man, what would his name be?
@@reverseside7387 His X-Men tag name maybe - Copy and Paste
Really enjoyed this. Thank you! 😊
Not seeing numbers, actually seeing pictures, shapes and patterns...awesome! I noticed something similar, and it was the geometry that provided the solution for extracting electricity from our existing torsion potential.
Beautiful!
Brains aside - his voice is incredibly soothing and gentle and relaxing to listen to.
A person who can keep his own mind entertained on a tremendous scale. I feel jealous in a good way.
All humans have the same abilities, it is just we have not all able to connect the dots that makes us super humans.
Scientists are doing research on these humans, they are missing the point.
It’s to tell you how even in 2021, science have not progress, they focus on all the wrong things.
Huh? You can’t keep your mind entertained?
@@annmariepardo6989
You have no idea if everyone can do this.
What should science be focusing on, and please list your discoveries.
@@annmariepardo6989 no they don't.
Imagine all the many wonders in this world we all miss out on with only limited mental capacity. He’s incredible, and such a nice man!
This was Beautiful, Thank you
They say 'memory' but it looks like something more dynamic than that, like an intense understanding of the information he thinks about, as if he can unfold all the layers of how things connect. It's so beautiful to behold; it must be amazing a sight for him inside his mind. What a gift.
Are you just trying to sound smart?
@@annabelleuduma7401 No, but you could try sounding like a pleasant individual
Exactly!
It is way more than memory.
He has a more complete way to understand the world than anyone else.
He is also gas an amazing intuition.
he is an autistic savant. many autistic brains work this way but not to this extent.
There's also their connection to spatial and imagery with memory. A crisscross in the brain. I wish all that happened to me when my head got smashed, I just looked like an idiot.
Such a genius on numbers should make a fortune by explaining T-Mobile bill's every month...

My husband and I came out of a restaurant very late one night and saw a man hesitating on the curb across a busy road. We drove over to the parking lot of the building, which was an all night dental clinic. The man, Don, was coming out. We took him back in and the dentist said he wanted all his teeth removed, but they were fine. My husband started talking to Don and noticed he talked like Rain Man. It turns out that he was in Columbus Ohio (from Toledo) for the State Special Olympics at the Ohio State University. (My husband saw a card with a number hanging from his neck) He walked off at about 2:30 pm and up the main drag, High Street. We saw him about midnight, maybe 10 miles away from campus. We got in touch with security on campus. They were going frantic. They came up to get him but in a paddy wagon. Don was scared, so my husband went with him. He said during the drive Don could recite all kinds of things about the different stores and businesses he had stopped into on his walk. He asked where we were from. When my husband said I was from near Hershey PA. he said, "Old man Hershey was very anti-Catholic" like everybody knew that. His brother called to thank us for "rescuing" Don. He said Don was a normal kid, going to college and had had a brain aneurysm. I don't know if he could do math or languages, but his memory was amazing!
My wife has a SUPER MEMORY -- she remembers everything I promised in exact words from 30 yrs ago and reminds me all the time!! I don't even remember what she cooked for dinner last Sunday!!!
Good wife of yours lol she epic tho hahahaha

Stop promising things 😅
Einstein revealed to us that gravity is topography, and that space and time are part of a topography. Physics begins to see mass and energy as a topography of probability waves. Even philosophy is moving towards topography. And this guy... he may be actually *seeing* the topography. Seeing it so clearly that he can squish the terrains together or pull them apart and read every detail of how they effect each other.
So there's some context, perhaps, for what he's donig: If we're all in Plato's cave seeing the shadows of reality dancing on the wall, he may be able to look at reality directly.
The word 'rock' is not an actual rock, obviously. It's a written or verbal symbol of a rock, a metaphor, part of a language, and that language is a topography of symbols for reality. We can use it to describe reality, or fictional fantasies.
Similarly, our mathematics is a language. The symbol 2 is not actually two. It's our symbol for two. And we can use our language of symbols to calculate reality using math, just as we can describe using language.
The languages are not the reality, just landscapes of metaphor, through which we can describe and analyze reality by proxy.
But this guy seems to be looking, in his mind, directly at the reality. But I suppose it could just be his own personal synesthetic symbolic language.
There's a way to test that; it would not render absolute proof, but it would lend a lot of weight to the idea. But you'd need another guy who can do the same thing. Then you just find out if they see the same shape for the same number.
If the shapes (molded out of clay) are different for each Savant, they are very useful personal languages that make calculating reality much easier and visual.
If, on the other hand, they are the same, they are looking at something far more fundamental and impersonal: reality itself, I guess, something along those lines.
damn
That was...interesting.
Your comment just blew my mind.
So is that what a 'top' means???
Interesting point of view, ty for sharing!
Kim Peek was incredible. Most people know him as rain man.
My children and myself were blessed to have known him in the library.
Thank you for sharing this fantastic story.
My first cousin has savant autism and as kid's when we was about four or so I was walking and he was still crawling so I decided to crawled with him until my uncle which is his dad kinda forced him with encouragement to walk. I taught him how to play football,dance,basketball,boxing and ect... but he can do alot of nerve wracking things with ease that it would literally take me awhile to learn especially math. But to finish this long story the last thing that amazed me and my family is that he can sit in a room full of people all day including family and do whatever everyone else is doing even sports and not say a single word unless someone directly speaks to him and he's not mad or doing it purposely but I'm talking all day plus there's only certain people that he feels comfortable talking to that can understand what he's saying and I'm one of them. So this might sound bad to some people but I'm glad that I have an autistic cousin because through it all it shows you there's a reason why certain people can understand them and why it's certain people who they truly love and I'm one of them.✌️
I’m on the weird side of UA-cam after demolishing a tub of Pringles and deciding to stay up late
Helena Young i
Those are the best nights!!
Hope yall got headaches from all that sodium
Helena Young How is this the weird side of UA-cam? Trust me, this is not even close to the weird part of UA-cam!
Omg you too!? I literally just finish browsing /r/awww and eating 6 king size Ice Cream Snickers! I might boof some powdered sugar and browse redtube next, rawr xd ;)
So basically...daniel doesn't calculate the ans of the maths ques. The ans just appears in his head in the form of visuals without doing anything as if the god is putting numbers in his head upon hearing the ques??? 😳
Thats wild!!!!🤯
Growing up in a house with 9 siblings probably helped Daniel develop adaptation skills.
its insane how much challenge they're throwing to him. How he is dealing with stress is one of things that is also impressive about this.
Math is logic.
@@chiptoothrecordlabelgroup oh ! yes ! right ! thank you .
Yeah. Send him around the world, give him jetlag and expect him to find solutions to novel problems. Absolutely crazy.
I also thought about that! I would be sweatin' bullets and stutterin' all over that TV show set
There's nothing impressive about him, with training you can do what he did.
