And guys, we got to get this really right.

If your theory does not encompass the outlier, you do not have a theory.

You have an interesting story.

So any doctor, any anybody listening to me saying, oh, Brian, that's an outlier.

I get it.

Now we need to go back and look at the theory, because now your theory doesn't make sense.

But I know if somebody cuts my brain out, I could die.

That's true.

But there's also, for example, this truck driver I met who had a pole go right through his brain and go out the other side.

His entire left hemisphere, yeah, left hemisphere, gone.

Now they reconstructed, he looks pretty normal.

He lost only some memory, gained a love of tiramisu and classical music, and sometimes speaks with a French accent.

And that leads me to organ donors.

I'm going to go down a little rabbit hole for you guys.

I studied dozens of organ donors.

Paul Purcell, read that book.

I do not remember the name, but Paul Purcell, he studied heart transplants.

Change of Heart is the name of the book.

And he found, this was a beautiful one, a garbage man, that's his own definition, back in the 1960s, self-admitted IQ less than that of a rock, decided

to have a heart attack to such a level that he needed a heart transplant.
