Episode notes
Kim Peek's Abilities
- Kim Peek, the inspiration for "Rain Man," could recite 12,000 books verbatim.
- He had hydrocephalus and an underdeveloped brain, yet possessed extraordinary abilities.
Twin Savants
- Autistic twins could recite prime numbers up to 20 digits, despite lacking basic math skills.
- This demonstrates an unexplained access to knowledge.
Savant Brain Wiring
- Savants' brains are wired differently, allowing them to access information differently.
- This suggests consciousness may come from an external source.
