Ep 309: The Adda at the End of the Universe
The Seen and the Unseen - hosted by Amit Varma
Finneas Gage
Finneas Gage was a railroad worker in the 1840s or 1850s. He lost part of his frontal cortex, but got back to normal physically. His personality changed from gentle, quiet person to violent and abusive. Maek says character is more contingent than we think.
