He is better, NASA uses Kim because their computers dont computer pre 1650 dates. NASA used his brain to develop a program, Im pretty sure NASA has a pretty good computer NASA wants their computer to think like KIM
I had the honor to escort these two around Grand Forks, ND for a weekend, as we invited Kim and Fran to come and speak in our city. My favorite memory was taking him to Kmart to get him some cold medicine and Kim yelled out, "Kmart sucks" like Tom Cruise said in the movie.
@@LetsSingTheDoomSong meh. ive always had a Godcomplex in my life . when i was around 7 years old i was very depressed cause they said i would never be older than 11 years old. i have a desease named cystic fybrosis. when i was 7 i vowed to become worlds smartest man. so that the world would listen to me and so i can tell em all to invent a cure for my illness. 2 years ago i got this new drug named "kaftrio" wich basicly cured me. but for some reason i get psychoses from this medication. i was high AF and i was CONVINCED to have an eidetic memory. however i am smart. not eidetic memory smart nor do i have a IQ of 211. i was in a psychoses that told me i had eidetic memory. so my comment was : i also have eidetic memory! soon the world will know! (i was fucked up beyond emagining) also i had a lungfunction of around 27% so i had almost no air left. 1 week after this drug i had a lungfunction of about 93% (INSANE) and now they say i can become 80+-ish :p fucked up world man. fucked up! :p greetings from belgium! have a nice day!
They based a supercomputer off of his calendar computations at NASA? I've watched multiple videos on this man and just found that out and it's awesome. Being from Utah and living here my whole life, I wish I would have known about him sooner and visited him at the library. Horrible to think that he could have just been put in an institution. He contributed more to the world than most. It makes you wonder how many geniuses are locked inside their own minds and thrown away because we normies are too lazy to try to understand them.
I actually love the fact that he gets dammmm close to talk to you. It's like a personal connection that you can never get from another person other than your family. I love it that he is close to your face and talks to you.
I’m not even sure what the concept of happiness would have appeared as to Kim, but I truly hope his life was filled with it. His abilities were almost supernatural, and he seemed like a really sweet soul.
There are people that pass away that we don't know about. And then we learn about these people and it makes us sad. I am sad knowing this guy is no longer with us.
Godbless the amazing beautiful man, he is not given enough credit! This guy was capable of such spectacular things, what a gift to have been in the same lifetime as such a amazing person ❤️ His dad too, so patient and kind, both angels 🌸
Sierra Scott was very kind and open-minded. I get the impression she found Kim a good, fascinating man and enjoyed this assignment. She did a good job.
Imagine if he read all the medical books. He could then come in handy as a diagnostician in basically all fields. Dr: ''Hey, Kim. Here are the symptoms. Could you give me a list?'' Kim: _gives every possibility instantly_ And then the Doctor could do the ''horses before zebras'' from the list.
Is it just me or does it suck that media almost always says, "Had this person been restricted in an institution, we would never have gotten to gawk at them", instead of idk, they would probably never have achieved what they wanted and be in the worst shape mental institutions in the 50's could shove them into.
3:05 Unless I am misunderstanding the narrator, she said Kim was 37 in 1982. That isn’t possible since he was born in 1951. Kim would have been 31 in 1982. I mean, am I missing something or did they already mess up 3 minutes into the video?!
I thought the exact same thing at that part and thought i was misunderstanding something. I guess this can be confirmation to both of us that we weren't going crazy 🤣
After all that director did, telling him how much he loved im and how he wanted to make him rich and famous and how he was going to be known all over the world. As soon as the movie was over, he sees him the odd time, but the kid was given almost NO money les than 100 grand. greedy bastards
1998 I'm in the SLC library. Set down at a table and reading through a couple books. I notice a guy walk up and stare at me. Guy with him said we will go set at another place. Fifteen minutes later I go look for other books. I see this book my father gave me a few years prior. But this copy is a first addition, has photos. So I grabbed it to thumb through. Out of my peripheral I see a big hand. He was getting my attention telling me he has read this book. My first impressions I made a judgement about him being less than. As he walks around to my right side he goes verbatim on the book that would have trouble paraphrasing. He waddles off palms up "I read all the books" I got the vibe he sensed that I judged him and then showed he is more than. Immediately after that interaction happened another gentleman approached me and said excuse me but do you know who that was. I said no he said have you seen the movie Rainman? I said wow. Then asked if the guy with him is Tom Cruise. We laughed. He then told me all the years he has seen him in there never had he seen him approach someone and start a conversation. I got goosebumps as soon as he told me that. The weirdest thing was immediately after that the for book that a looked at said how to improve your memory.
It is reported that he was brain damaged since birth. That raises the question was he brain damaged at birth or before birth? Also it is difficult to see how brain damage could result in a lack of brain hemispheres. That suggests abnormal brain development, however it is possible that both occurred.
Hello I could read a newspaper before I got put in school but I was unable to speak it. I went to school and did not like school. But on my own I learn because people make fun of me so I cry then they laugh at me. I have found I learn other things too. I don’t have friends and live alone and afraid. I like Kim. I like Daniel. I have been learning sciences too. Nikolai Tesla I like learning playing games I know I am not like normal people. I struggle a lot too.
Dr.s. What do they really know ? There's so much More to learn about the body human and animal. And hospitals avoid music therapy like the plague even though it's beneficial to healing. Sure some know how to save lives. They also know how to Ruin lives. 🌱
Great display of human brain ability. At the same time we can’t tell that Kim has outstanding intelligence. Yes, he can store extremely high amount of information, but what is the use? If he would make unconventional conclusions out them, that would make it useful. Otherwise it’s just a great library kept in one place.
Just imagine being able to store all that information without forgetting, sure it may be just a large library with no use but I'd rather have a library in my head than a small bookshelf
Did you miss the part where he helps NASA find far away astroids and calculated the calendar back to 1 AD? Not only were his talents unique and often unsurpassed, but he contributed a lot to our understanding of the brain and the things I said before.
@@tavferry3301 At first, I would like to add that I totally agree - he has unique and outstanding abilities. Nobody argue with that. My point is his abilities are very limited and following already existing pattern. Being a genius for me is creating something brand new and has out of box thinking. Like Einstein or Newton, or Tesla...

Great father .. Sacrifice his life for his son
That's what real parents do.
He's Mormon.
Yes. And many of use sacrifice our adult lives for our parents.
He seems to enjoy his company
reads 2 pages simultaneously with both eyes. in other words, he's a HUMAN DUO CORE COMPUTER. blows my mind!
He is better, NASA uses Kim because their computers dont computer pre 1650 dates. NASA used his brain to develop a program, Im pretty sure NASA has a pretty good computer NASA wants their computer to think like KIM
He is far much better than a computer
It's as if his eyes are scanners that download documents to his brain.
He is easily one of the most fascinating human beings to ever live. I wish that I could have met him. Thanks for sharing the video.
Yes really,I feel the same!
Same
I had the honor of being acquainted with Fran and Kim. They were both extraordinary. Nothing is exaggerated, here.
He came to my Elementary School when I was a kid
Google can do the same thing and it doesn't shit it's pants
I was very fortunate and honoured to meet Kim Peek when he came to Oxford a fair few years ago now, it was utterly incredible.
found out that he dies in 2009... now i'm depressed, what a nice and amazing guy!
@Earl Rogers
Good catch
@Earl Rogers google changed it to 1951 but still a backfire with the 1982 age of kim was
His parents were amazing. To take care of him that well for all those decades and no one even knew he had this memory.
It was more so his dad. But he was awesome and is with him yes.
I had the honor to escort these two around Grand Forks, ND for a weekend, as we invited Kim and Fran to come and speak in our city. My favorite memory was taking him to Kmart to get him some cold medicine and Kim yelled out, "Kmart sucks" like Tom Cruise said in the movie.
HE CAME TO GRAND FORKS??? MY GOD, when??? I grew up around that area I can't believe he graced it with his presence
That would have been hilarious!!!
I consider Kim a very unique person.
I am sad Kim passed away.
I like him.
RIP Mr Kim Peek.

Such a beautiful and gentle soul.
This is an excellent example of what good parenting can do to enhance a child’s life.
*THAT* we do not know for sure
He was born that way,like all the other savants,about 50 in the whole world.
I actually love the fact that he gets dammmm close to talk to you. It's like a personal connection that you can never get from another person other than your family. I love it that he is close to your face and talks to you.
You are gay af...
Yea i cant get as much connection from my loved ones as from some video
What a beautiful soul. A true gift from the heavens.

@@thecommonsenseconservative5576 Agreed. Especially since unique minds tends to spark House's interest e.g. the piano guy.
@@LetsbeHonestOfficial exactly what I was thinking
kim peek man. If only I could read 2 pages of a book in just a few seconds.
0:48 Sorry Kim, but Ernie Lombardi was MVP in 1938 not 1940. The 1940 MVP was Hank Greenberg. You had us all fooled there for a minute.
i wished ive meet him too. so glad to have someone like you kim peek.
What an absolutely beautiful mind. Wish I could have met him.
How cool would Rain Man movie have been if Tom Cruise played Kim! They should do a remake and Tom & Dustion switch roles
the Gettysburg Address story made me laugh and cry ^^
God bless him, A true inspiration, Glad Rain Man got him known, His father was an incredible person, God bless them both 🙏
I wish I could have met him. I would have loved to be in his presence.
Have he dead?
@@bharatgadade5152 He died of a heart attack back in 2009.
Amazing. Just amazing. Fascinating what our brains are actually capable of.
It is my honor to learn about you, thanks 👍

How does someone not have a corpus callosum? That's incredible.
fantastic father !!!!!!!!
His father is amazing
He is the greatest human being that I have ever seen. I salute his whole family for having such a greatest son.
Was so blessed to know Kim and Fran.
My God. If this isn't an example of God's Love for mankind I don't know what is. What a gift it must have been to interview this person. TY
This man is my favorite. I love him infinetely
What a amazing guy, who wants to be a millionaire would have been a breeze for him.
I'm glade I watched this video. Enjoyed
Fran's glasses are dope tho
I'm sad he was called upstairs so soon. The world used to be a bigger place. Fly high gentle soul.

Love this guy. That should say that he is the one and only Mr. Know It All. Love you Kim!!!
"Dad and I share the same shadow "😢
SO INSPIRING
He is the greatest human being.
Never give up, on yourself or anyone you love.
14:36 "38-52 seconds to verify"
guessing he got this number a few decades ago 😂
They should have savants like this work on how to space travel
His conceptual and mathematical reasoning abilities are unfortunately very limited.

Greatest Human Being
Wow
one thing movie got wrong, he flies airlines outside of quantis

Kim’s disability became an ability
Families never know what's going on. Smh

Kim would shit on anyone in trivial pursuit
Nicest human being
He can calculate any day from year 1Ad to 3,000Ad. I wonder why only to year 3,000 Ad and not beyond that?
