Here are some of the most amazing examples of genius that I have ever seen.

The first is about Stephen Wiltshire, an autistic man with photographic memory. Whatch the clips and listen to him speak afterwards.

He draws Rome after seeing it for 45 minutes.

He draws Tokyo after seeing it for an hour or so.

Listening to him without knowing his genius I might think he is a sweet but dimwitted guy. He can barely talk. How many “dim witted” people exist in this world who have not been recognized as genius????

Here is another guy Danniel Temmet who memorized Icelandic in one week.

Kim Peek - living google, the dark side of the moon, the real rain man. This guy is nuts!! A total wacko! And I love him for it. Don’t trust anyone who appears normal. Their wackiness is being suppressed and will eventually either hurt them or somebody else. Let the wackiness out and the energy flows naturally. Check out Kim’s dad, there is a caring genius. Here is movie 1 out of 5 on Kim. The others are on utube.

Here is Alonzo Clemens, savant with sculpture.

I think that every single human on this planet has genius to contribute. Even people who are classified as vegetables. It is not them but the rest of us who are too dim witted to see their genius. And by genius I don’t just mean the mind. A vegetable person’s body might develop a new strain of virus resistance that is passed on to the doctor without anyone even knowing. WHO KNOWS what goes on when we are watching TV??

It is not that we are all stupid, it is that we are not built to know everything. So the vast majority of people will go unrecognized. And that is ok.

THATS NOT THE POINT. The point is that we need to be open to the fact that we don’t know it all. We need to understand that all life is valuable despite appearances from our limited perspective to the contrary. Or the reverse. Maybe some life that appears valuable to us needs to die….

THE POINT IS THAT WE NEED THE HUMILITY OF KNOWING WE DON”T KNOW IT ALL.
