Einsteins’ brain pan ediface outs media time contraints on the upper limb. Brain, is, too not to espexially four little rats. Noping the ulvular revolving turns nothing into cream when the messenger eats pie. Are squared notions never elected? No.
Utterly meaningless; I really tried to make sense of this, but the words simply don’t mean what you appear to think they mean.
There is almost nothing that’s understood about this process, and only the most basic understanding of smaller steps like thought to speech.
The only difference is that there’s a lot less of Peek’s brain; no great differences have been shown to exist between geniuses and the rest of us.
No one thinks this is possible, or has the foggiest idea of how’d they try (except for a few SF writers, and they’re all wrong).
No kidding.
no kidding.
If I understand you correctly, you think it’s arbitrary to judge people by the quality of their thoughts? Yes, if the thoughts are simple cultural artifacts. But there are very real differences – in the speed of processing, in the accuracy and completeness of reasoning, and in the richness of internal life – that I think are very reasonable and more-or-less objective ways to judge thought.
Abnormal brains are studied every bit as assiduously – probably more so – than the ordinary or the exceptional.
You think “they” are working on what? A big organic-electronic brain? Nah. Combined biological and electronic circuits? Yeah, a little. Comparing brains? Yeah. Exploring the “circuitry” and biochemical functioning of the brain? Yeah, for a good long time now, and it’ll be a good long time more before we have it cracked.
Let’s see if I’ve got it straight: The brain is so complicated that we don’t fully understand it, and until we do, we can’t judge thought well enough to say that Kim Peek is retarded?

I have a vague recollection that geniuses have more folds (or twists, crinkliness…whatever you call it) to their brains than the average Joe.
However, even if true, it is hardly a science one could hang their hat on and expect anything like reliable predictions.
Of more scientific use scientists use PET scans of the brain while it is working to see the difference between geniuses and normal folks. The genius types use more of their brains when engaged in a particular task than regular people. Some suggest that while geniuses simply seem well programmed (comes to them naturally) it is not unreasonable to suggest that anyone could do the same with some hard work on their part.
I think his first sentence means something like “There have been, I recall, some average, or outstanding, thinkers who can make the leap from a mere thought to the ability to conceptualize an actual workable tool based on that vague thought.”
