So there was a famous case of a guy called Thomas McHugh, a British guy.

So in his early years, he was in a youth prison, was a bit of a disruptor, kind of a hooligan type guy.

And he's in his 50s, early 50s.

And on the bathroom, he shits himself so aggressively that he causes an aneurysm, like a blood explosion in his brain.

And then as he's on the floor, he's terrified that someone's going to find him with his pants around his ankles.

So he tries to pull his pants up and causes another one to go off.

Completely like pops both sides of his brain, wakes up in the hospital a few days later and turns into a obsessive painter who can only speak in rhyme and paints between three or six or nine paintings at any one time, paints for 19 hours a day.

and couldn't bear to think about suffering.

So it sort of sweep the steps in front of him as he was like some Buddhist guy.

He just had a total come to art moment.

But yeah, shat himself so aggressively that he had acquired savant syndrome.

That, I think, component-wise... I asked Huberman if he's personally threatened by the retard maxing movement.

What did he say?

I think he is.

I think he partially is.

His entire career has been built on anti-retard maxing.

A dog that you regularly see.

Dude, one of the best stories I've heard about this is from Alain de Botton, and he's describing being in Paris, and it's a...

Early summer day, beautiful weather outside, a little cloudy, a little bit of sun, and it's sort of late afternoon, classic European fashion.

This French couple are sat around a small table, wrought iron chairs, and they've got a couple of espressos, and they're just so deeply in love.
