I must say, it's not every day someone turns into a genius from understanding just one idea. but on that particular day when it happens, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence... I don't find it particularly astonishing this man has attributed his ability as a result of brain injury. more on the previous notion, extraordinary circumstance requires extraordinary claims... and in general, circumstances reveal evidence that supports claims.
So in my 'Expert' logical opinion 'This ability should not have a vapid basis like the one you presume it has'
Albeit nothing is truly vapid across the ENTIRE cognitive spectrum for any one situation. "The ability has to come from somewhere and it has to be provable"
You also can't prove ENTIRE cognitive vapidity. because there are no longer any strong cognitive faculties left to make a strong
argument.
It is what it is.
There's a saying that goes around "treat people as if they are as smart as you, unless proven other wise"
Do you honestly think the writer thinks you are stupid enough to believe this without any dissemination?
It's amazing, I'll give you that.
what this guy understands is beyond maths. you could say his visuospatial ability has improved.
Normally a person learns mathematics and therefore understanding the limited if not complete applications of mathematics .
This is reported throughout history so many times.
Newton, remember him? his theory of gravity? In our limited subjective opinion, who are we to him?
Using logic is the best way of understanding this discussed phenomena.
All such occurrences rely on brain trauma.
It speaks for itself but it's not necessarily proven by itself...
