So what does that mean about intelligence?

I happen to believe that intelligence is not local, that we are receivers and transmitters, and that when you turn off the TV set, the people inside the TV aren't going to sleep inside the little box.

It's a transmission.

We're receiving and transmitting information.

Now, the local electronics, if you will,

have to work but this is what really blew my mind this is what changed me forever I'll tell you and it's a couple of studies but one was the the person I met that had almost no brain they had aphasia and and and their brain was about the size of thin salami and

And it was mostly, you know, brain fluid that was filling in the cavity.

Yeah.

And there's many examples.

So this is not a simple outlier.

And this is my problem with theories.

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.
