Savant simplicity

Scientist are gaining insights into the brains that are damaged, either from birth or during accidents. One scientist is turning off part of the brain of volunteers with a magnetic brain cap, after which the normal person can make quick calculations, notice details, and draw incredibly well. National Geographic shows a scientist who works with a college student in a frontier experiment: a magnetic charge is put through the student’s brain for 15 minutes. Afterwards, the student can replicate savant skills of drawing, instant number recognition, and others. The process is called trans-cranial stimulation. Within an hour, the heightened effect is lost, and the brain function returns to average.

Apparently having less control of the halving of our brain, removing inhibitors to “normal” behavior, and disabling the constrictors that help us focus opens up areas of the brain that are unavailable to us. “Privileged access to lower level raw material,” is what the professor calls the student’s access to information. The suppression of higher education and the freeing of instinct is apparently beneficial in some ways.

Interesting: what if heaven allows the full use of our minds by removing human inhibitors, taking away the constrictors of culture, human learning, and presuppositions to allow us free expression of worship and understanding of the world as it really is? But without damage or harmful consequences which such freedom brings on earth.
