It was really interesting to experience it so intense, but it freaked me out since I couldn't make it go away when it became TOO overwhelming. So I decided to never do it again.

I go watch the episode on the current chess grand master, and comments in the replies are people talking down about him, saying he's nothing special, basically being elitist snobs. Then I come here, and see the same things. What is it with some people? Do they feel threatened by someone demonstrating more impressive intellectual skills?

Basically every number has a shape and the negative space somehow gives him the answer. But how? This basically means the human mind can work in amazing ways we didn't realize.

I wondered the same thing. But his understanding of those numbers is probably more nuanced and complex than he is capable of describing. It's like asking someone to describe an emotion with just a picture. You can't do it. You can try, but you will never be able to explain "fear" or "love" to someone by drawing a picture. They have to experience those emotions for themselves. This is how I think Daniel experiences numbers: very personal, intimate, and difficult-to-describe.

Of course this guy has amazing abilities, but he is not math genius, just because he can memorize and calculate very well. He would be genius if he would solve those ''PI'' problems or something.

Imagine them (Peek, Tammet) spending all their life memorizing books about art and visiting most of the museums out there. Then they are asked to: reproduce a painting they saw and trying to paint a new one really good and innovative. Guess what? If they are not geniuses, they will fail in both the tasks, or surely on hte second one. And this is not related to art only, obviously, think of math...you can remember every formula out there and understand even the hardest theories, but that's something you wouldn't be able to do if you're not a real genius: come out with a new theory, or find a solution for one of the already unsolved mathematical problems. When they assign the Nobel prize, they always say "...for the great contribution to science/humanity etc"...but Kim was just a living google and Tammet is just a fast learner of new languages and owner of the record of pi, nothing useful to all of us. I'm not against them, i'm fascinated by their capabilities, but i can't really find a similarity between these 2 guys and people like Tesla, Galilei, Newton etc. In conclusion: being genius=/=being intelligent.

So they are genius in different domain like calculating ect. The problem between différence with maths and calculated isn't easy. Some genius mathematician can't calculating like them but imo if there is "genius" mathematician Guy it's because they have a better logical brain and they understand more faster and better so an autistic Guy with savant syndrome is able to do the same with work. It's obviously What tammet did When he understood so many "logique d'un langage". I can say big shit I have no source I Just say my noob opinion

amazing. I would be interested to know how the number 666 looks to him

That’s easy, the number 666 is simply 18 and 18 means life in Hebrew. There are far worse things than the so called beast and that is you own ego 🤷

This interested me very much... not from the sense of a mathematician... but I always heard Jimi Hendrix talk about seeing the music as colors and shapes.. and hearing him talk about seeing numbers as colors and shapes makes me wonder about Jimi's mind much more... was he in someways the "same" as Nick? just in a different category?

Hendrix saw colours because he was probably on an acid trip.

led sabbath The perception of things such as letters, words, numbers and music as colours and shapes is a neurological phenomenon called synesthesia. It's more common than most people are aware.

What he and Jimi spoke about are very true Alchemical laws, they have been known for years but not many ppl are bright enough to witness this phenomenon. So someone such as myself who knows these laws but cannot see them all the time, it is a great blessing to have someone confirm them.

He makes it look easy being in his condition, but it is a lot harder than you think. At this point he has probably overcome most of his problems and he enjoys his life, but I bet he wouldn't wish the same fate upon you. It takes a strong will and spirit to deal with his mind and the problems he most likely had to deal with during his life.

Amazing man!

I never said his abilities weren't impressive. In fact, they're incredibly impressive. And yes, I'm immensely jealous of him. Who wouldn't be? My point was that there is no reason to take him for anything other than what he actually is. Especially since what he is, is something so incredibly amazing. But it is important to note that he is amazing only in the way that he actually is amazing. Not in just any way you see fit for the current scenario. There is no need to give him undeserved credit.

I believe the negativity around him is invented, and blown out of proportion. He is clearly gifted.

I'm glad someone like this exists. I was worried that Rain Man, one of my favourite films, was exaggerating the ability of Savants.

Just simply amazing!!!!!!!

What about 3.14159265

There is a Japanese guy that has memorized pi to over 80k places. The official ranking has one person listed as #166 in the world and only memorized pi to 20 places. Obviously, this competition is not of great concern to very many people. He has a great memory, that is undeniable. But to call him a "math genius" and a "mind unlike anyone else" he would need to do something much more incredible than just remember a bunch of things. "Genius is nothing, without the actions behind it."

I remember when he did that...it was amazing!! I love speaking Old Norse, it's harder to learn than English!

God bless you sir. Much love

Maybe should distinguish between savant, and genius. Unusual ability to compute in the head is not comparable to creative math genius such as Ramanajun.

“Starts reciting pi *in order*” I think... I think that’s the only way to recite pi... Look here are the digits of pi 1,3,6,5,2,8,9,4,7,9,0 -.-

Yes, this chap is amazing.

This man is brilliant!

WOW!!!!!!. Daniel along with Kim Peek absolutely FASCINATE ME!!!!!!!!. I have an above average IQ. I'm good at Math & memorization. I also see numbers as well as the Months of the year as Colors as well. I once memorized the first 104 digits of Pi in 2 hours or so but 22,000 after reading them once..............GEEZ.
