      I love when fiction is written with an inspiration from reality. Although this would only apply for base instincts as I don't see how memories could get sent from your brain to your sex organs. At best you could alter your epigenome through experiences (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2579375/ fun paper to check out if you want to go down that rabbit hole) but I don't see how you could alter your genetics to have your current memories due to how memory is a reconstruction that'd only really make sense to the original creator of that memory. In any case this video is more focused on how our genetics cause our brains to wire a certain way and thus contribute to our conscious experience with a shared or universal human experience. In a sense this is sort of true, but there's obviously going to be environmental factors that might make your experience unique to just you even if initially you had similar wiring to everyone else.

      that's a misconception. while reduced bloodflow can make a brain area decrease its abilities, more bloodflow cannot make a brain area increase its abilities.
      but neuroplasticity (meaning other parts of the brain compensating for the lost abilities of the damaged brain area) does happen a lot (although it takes time and training). so you were right of that phenomenom, but were wrong about the explanation.
      still it does not make you a savant. when brain damage makes you a savant, it's because some specific areas of your brain are damaged, which would otherwise inhibit some special abilities, because before the damage, not having those special abilities makes you more adapted to daily life and survival

      Carls Jungs theories of the collective unconscious containing hundreds of archetypal symbols that underpins our religions and culture has been scientifically vindicated by the Electric Universe group at Thunderbolts.info They do plasma research and many of the symbols have been duplicated in electric plasma labs. The other place the symbols occur is in ancient rocks and the ancients saw cataclysmic plasma displays in the sky that wiped out most human and animal life. So the ancients were right to record these scary happenings. It never occurred to Carl Jung that the sky in ancient times was vastly different to what we see today. Not his fault. So he was RIGHT after all. And this lovely documentary explains the origins of Jungs symbols that he catalogued visiting isolated cultures all over the world.

Our biggest mistake today is assuming our unchanging skies today have always been that way. In this beaut short video EV Cochrane explains how the Polar configuration (3 planets in a row with glowing electric field between them) , produced massive frightening sky displays that were recorded by astronomers in every culture (objective validation, scientific rigour) and was the origin of much ancient symbolism that we cant let go of, even today

    I was bad at sports until the age of 9. Had a concussion on the left side, woke up not knowing anybody. Had problems studying, remembering simple things. A few yrs later I would b good at everything I found an interest in, to a point I was able to master wat ever I focused on & surpassed within months that other ppl struggled to master after yrs of practice. It's something that always baffled me & I always felt it had something to do with that concussion

    At 4 years old while in preschool, I was playing tag and tripped on a water hose, hitting my forehead on the corner of a metal sink (no fucking idea why there was a sink outside). Gash was a quarter sized, my dad told me that doctors had clear view of my brain. After that, as early as 7 years old I gained a crippling fear of mortality, and death. I constantly worried about the days where my parents would die, pets would die, and then I would wonder what comes after that? That young, I couldn’t rationalize any of it. Sometimes I think it was that fall that jolted my subconscious into worrying about death. Interesting video showing the positives of such events!

    I know the history of my family quite well, and I have heard that all of my mom's relatives were inclined to learning languages. My Gran spoke English, German, and somehow Afrikaans freely, and my aunt's the biggest passion was Spanish. Does this mean that I may have these skills too, hidden somewhere in my brain, sleeping and waiting to be woken?.. woah.

    I'm pretty skeptical about the first guy. I can maybe imagine getting your neurons scrambled in just the right way might make it where you have a greater ability to understand music, but playing piano is about WAY more than your brain. It involves muscle memory which literally takes thousands of hours to develop. And it literally happens in the muscles and even the bones of your hands, so a knock on the head isn't going to affect that at all.

    My Traumatic Brain Injury only left me with short term memory loss and reduced the speed with which my memory recall is processed. Which affects my verbal communication. Writing my thoughts down, and reading/editing them many several times, is the best way for me to communicate my actual thoughts. Otherwise it comes out fragmented.

    The guy learned to play arpeggios, is all I can tell. These are simple sounds everyone has heard. For some reason he became fixated on them. If that's all your music is, you could learn that in a day, no problem. He had the manual dexterity to pick it up faster than average, possible, but as long as you can hear pitch, this is not at all complicated, musically.

    the ad at the end for brilliant struck a cord in me. when I was very young I fell out of a tree and head my head in multiple places on the way down, having hit my head on multiple branches, the wooden railing of the tree house, and the ground on the way down. I became a talented mathematician. up until 9th grade, where a teacher destroyed my mathematic capability by forcing me to explain how I got to the results. I couldn't explain how I got there, because I didn't know how. I instantly knew the answers to the variables and to the equation. In the bit about brilliant, there was a cryptogram. I struggled with variable math the last time I tried it. this time, I solved it in a less than a second. I instantly knew. B can only equal 5 because given the positioning of 1B + B6 = 71 this inherently means that the numbers in the equation must be 15 + 56 = 71. I thought I had completely lost this ability, thank you!

    I believe everyone of us is a genius. All it takes is the ability and patients for you to be able to listen to your self and keep practicing certain thought patterns/rhythms in your brain. You just need to practice thinking and concentration/focus. Your brain is like a muscle, the more you exercise it the stronger it becomes. Your brain is also very elastic and stretchy and the more stretching it the more you can do with it the more intelligence you release. Don't ignore your thoughts or your weaknesses but you think you have, use them as an advantage and they will become your strengths. I really have no idea what I'm talking about, I can barely read or write.

    Me and my siblings can draw extremely well, even though we barley practice. My younger brothers started drawing when he was like 6 or 7 and he could draw realstic portraits right away. I know people who practice art/drawing everyday and they aren't as good as me or my siblings. I hate it when people say that talent doesn't matter amd practice makes perfect. No, in some people, no matter how much they practice they can't become really skilled if they don't have an eye for details and can't see mistakes/asymmetries. This documentary proves that real artistic talent is heavily influenced by brain structure.
