[@davidhand9721]

@@TD-zr5xm Genetic memories clearly exist, but not how you're thinking. When you see a huge spider or snake, or stand next to a cliff, and feel fear, that is the memory imprinted on your genes through the death of ancestors who lacked that fear. You didn't have to learn about that danger through trial and error, through a traumatic experience, or by reading a book. You remember the mistakes of the dead thanks to your ancestors that survived it. Skills like language acquisition, connecting music to emotion, the desire to be accepted and loved - all of those are genetic memories. It's all low-information data, though. There just isn't enough DNA or morphological fidelity to encode the exact details of a sequence of events as a sensory experience the way you do with events from your own life. As for past lives and skills from them, no. Just no. Not a real possibility, no matter how liberally you define it. In particular, DNA does not have the brain's plasticity, so it is not changing to reflect the experiences you have or the skills you develop over your lifetime. It's more or less the same for your entire lifetime, and very much decoupled from the ongoing development of your brain's connectome. No, we transfer those intermediate memories through direct communication and cultural aggregation. There is nothing preserved of any previous person's experience that can make it into your brain in any other way. We don't have past lives.

I love when fiction is written with an inspiration from reality. Although this would only apply for base instincts as I don't see how memories could get sent from your brain to your sex organs. At best you could alter your epigenome through experiences (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2579375/ fun paper to check out if you want to go down that rabbit hole) but I don't see how you could alter your genetics to have your current memories due to how memory is a reconstruction that'd only really make sense to the original creator of that memory. In any case this video is more focused on how our genetics cause our brains to wire a certain way and thus contribute to our conscious experience with a shared or universal human experience. In a sense this is sort of true, but there's obviously going to be environmental factors that might make your experience unique to just you even if initially you had similar wiring to everyone else.

But quality of life, and joy are found by focusing more on the life I have now, and the possibilities I have now. I have been living mostly bed-bound in a dark sensory reduced room, with a whole array of unpleasant full body symptoms 24/7, and dependant on others for survival due to severe fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome/ M.E. To me it seems that mentally healthy living is always about re-framing, and living within ever changing new contexts. Some of us have more extreme events that change our lives, and ourselves, significantly, in previously unimagined ways. Adaptation is not only the key to survival, but also quality of life. I appreciate and applaud your resilience, your drive to live and make the most of your possibilities, and your determination, endurance and dedication to live your best life. You are inspirational. As you would know, sometimes it takes nearly losing something, or actually losing something, to better appreciate what we have, including our own life.

I think that when one part of the brain is damaged, the body tries to fix it. When it realises it can't, it increases blood flow in the other areas, making a patient talented for a single/multiple ablity(s).

[@VincentGonzalezVeg]

You can use a hand to replace the needs of a foot, with stability, a consequence is a stronger arm Sort of like that Something's gotta compensate!

[@bm-ub6zc]

that's a misconception. while reduced bloodflow can make a brain area decrease its abilities, more bloodflow cannot make a brain area increase its abilities. but neuroplasticity (meaning other parts of the brain compensating for the lost abilities of the damaged brain area) does happen a lot (although it takes time and training). so you were right of that phenomenom, but were wrong about the explanation. still it does not make you a savant. when brain damage makes you a savant, it's because some specific areas of your brain are damaged, which would otherwise inhibit some special abilities, because before the damage, not having those special abilities makes you more adapted to daily life and survival

Carls Jungs theories of the collective unconscious containing hundreds of archetypal symbols that underpins our religions and culture has been scientifically vindicated by the Electric Universe group at Thunderbolts.info They do plasma research and many of the symbols have been duplicated in electric plasma labs. The other place the symbols occur is in ancient rocks and the ancients saw cataclysmic plasma displays in the sky that wiped out most human and animal life. So the ancients were right to record these scary happenings. It never occurred to Carl Jung that the sky in ancient times was vastly different to what we see today. Not his fault. So he was RIGHT after all. And this lovely documentary explains the origins of Jungs symbols that he catalogued visiting isolated cultures all over the world.

Our biggest mistake today is assuming our unchanging skies today have always been that way.

Your brain is also very elastic and stretchy and the more stretching it the more you can do with it the more intelligence you release.

I struggled with variable math the last time I tried it. this time, I solved it in a less than a second. I instantly knew.

It must be the case information can be stored in the brain without us knowing just the fact that sometimes when you try to remember something you can't but then it all of a sudden it pops back into your mind.

That answer's how humanity learned to milk the cow, do agriculture and fishing. A whack on the head from a wife and man is suddenly motivated enough to do a dumber thing and get whacked again.

Oh great title. My brain damage is a grade 4 astrocytoma. Maybe he'll teach me something new. But so far I've been using him more for blaming my mistakes on him.

[@jonathanmatthews4774]

It was certainly an interesting video, but since it was all speculative and hypothetical and NOT backed by any "real science", I question it being on this channel. I'm glad you looked at the topic, but perhaps you should have titled it: "hypothetical science on how brain damage can make you a genius".

We were produced as a slave race with a restraining bolt in our brain tissue to keep us dumb. An NDE or brain tissue injury breaks the restraining bolt, unleashing potentials we all have. Normally the physical restraining bolt dissolves during our death process and numerous deceased people report thru mediums a feeling of great clarity as they die. Their usual brain fog suddenly vanishes. There is a Remote Viewers explanation of this process in Bitchute video Moksha the recinarnation cycle broken. presenter is Technical Intuition MOKSHA REMOTE VIEWED--- ENDING THE REINCARNATION CYCLE www.bitchute.com/video/46Q21dQ03b8u/

@@kimbo99 doesn't matter how long u lived or how long u studied if u have broken logic u won't get anywhere. And no the education system didn't do anything other than teach.

I'm curious how different musical systems such as that of Indonesia's Gamelan would fit into that universal musical experience idea. I'm currently in the process of reading _How Emotions are Made_ (by Lisa Feldman Barrett) and have started really questioning whether there's anything truly universal about our human experience.

The guy learned to play arpeggios, is all I can tell. These are simple sounds everyone has heard. For some reason he became fixated on them. If that's all your music is, you could learn that in a day, no problem. He had the manual dexterity to pick it up faster than average, possible, but as long as you can hear pitch, this is not at all complicated, musically.

Me and my siblings can draw extremely well, even though we barley practice. My younger brothers started drawing when he was like 6 or 7 and he could draw realstic portraits right away. I know people who practice art/drawing everyday and they aren't as good as me or my siblings. I hate it when people say that talent doesn't matter amd practice makes perfect. No, in some people, no matter how much they practice they can't become really skilled if they don't have an eye for details and can't see mistakes/asymmetries. This documentary proves that real artistic talent is heavily influenced by brain structure.

I had a head injury and after waking up from a 2 month coma, I don't know why, but I was able to dribble basketballs at an athletic standard. I was also able to play the violin, cello, and bass guitar without any prior training, but the weirdest thing to come from it was my actual body strength improved to the point were I could flip a car on my own with no help whatsoever. The only "side effect" was that it also turned me into a compulsive liar.
