![]() ![]() Īs to his mental disability, I agree that if it's true that some people are mentally disabled (to any extent) in one area, but not in another, that's something surprising and possibly useful to research further.īut- is it true? That people really have an extreme level of development in one faculty, but not others? How do we know that it's true? What are the experiments done that confirm it, if you want to be scientific about it? What is the standard of proof? In the past people have used fmri data to support any old hackneyed, half-baked theory they wanted, like for instance, that bit about women not being able to park cars as well as men because they have a worse spatial sense. I'm always very skeptical of this sort of "evidence". Yeah, I don't know about his fmri and its interpretation. It was all equally important and it's questionable how much he really understood the things he memorized (which he did hours and hours and hours of each day). Essentially Kim Peek was not filtering any information that got into his head. It's pretty damned hard to fake an FMRI like that. He was completely missing the corpus callosum and several other very important structures. His FMRI also showed an extreme malformation of the brain. This is also well beyond small areas of knowledge. I don't think he was capable of magic tricks. There was a documentary in which he spoke to neurologist VS Ramachandran and they showed how he was unable to grasp the concept of a metaphor, taking idioms of speech literally. He was a mentally retarded person who could not care for himself. He was also severely disabled mentally, he's not a normal guy who is really smart. Many, many people have interviewed and investigated him. If that guy, the original Rain Man, was legit, and we know for a fact he was legit, I want to know why it is that we know it.īecause you can put him in a room alone and ask him questions. Look, it's not my fault that a lot of that stuff about savants is a bunch of hooey. Not just a savant, but a telepath to boot. + His mother insists the footage of her autistic son's 'talents' is not trickery + Ramses is now part of a cutting-edge telepathy study by Dr Diane Powell + Videos were posted online and attracted the attention of a neuroscientist + He correctly recounted numbers that were written down 'out of eyesight' + Ramses Sanguino, aged five, was filmed seemingly displaying telepathy Does this mean you know of some sort of test, some demonstration in controlled conditions etc? I'd like to see it, too, please.Įdit: How was he well-documented? Where is that documentation?įive-year-old savant from LA who displays signs of being telepathic - and is already learning seven languages - is being studied by scientists after his mother filmed him 'reciting numbers written in secret' The problem is that I'm well aware that charlatans do exist but I've no idea why you say that his skils are not under dispute. ![]()
