If everyone had a brain like this guy, it would be a heck of a lot easier to make our ideas stick… What a fascinating story.
Turns out the guy’s brother is making a documentary about him and his remarkable memory.

If everyone had a brain like this guy, it would be a heck of a lot easier to make our ideas stick… What a fascinating story.
Turns out the guy’s brother is making a documentary about him and his remarkable memory.
He is like a real life version of the main character of this brilliant short story by Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges:

There are a few more of us out there, myself and my 11 year old son included. I have spent most of my life after age 20 suppressing it or hiding it, as the universal reaction to telling someone the precise moment you met them, what they were wearing, what they said, and so on, when they don’t recall meeting you at all, is that they are freaked out. And my guess is that Mr. Williams also has Asperger’s Syndrome, as do my son and I.
