This man is miraculous. He is a treasured individual. I never get tired of his speaking and ideas. Fascinating man.
You and me both. I love to hear his speak of his ideas and love to read and hear him read his poetry and books. He is such a great treasure. A MIND, A PERSON ONLY GOD COULD CREATE.
Love hearing this guy speak. It is quite mesmerising.
He speaks so easily.
I agree, but I wish the title sequences ran throughout weren't so loud and abrasive! Makes me jump!
it's like Ali G ay.
Every word measured, crafted, respected, loved. A delight to listen, certainly to read it too. But in his case, voice, accent, tone adds such a fresh and light experience.
@Renato Every word is spoken with a lot of awareness and once spoken he gives the right amount of time for the spoken words to sink into his awareness. It's a divine quality to be able to speak like that. He's able to tap into into peace which is the natural nature of every being.
Practicing Silence/Meditation is one way of improving the levels of your consciousness.
There is something about a soft-spoken person that makes me relax yet sharpens my focus on what’s being said. I love listening to him.
Took the words out of my mouth. I come here to relax, but wind up paying attention lol
I love his voice and listening to his story. I often listen to him before bed and it's comforting.
I have, for some odd reason, that I could completely trust this man. I am convinced he's friendly and humble.
I don't remember but I'm pretty sure his savant syndrome was debunked.
He has trouble feeling empathy, as per his book.
This is an interesting take on the film about him:

Not so much debunking him but raising eyebrows here and there...
Kathryn Harrold That person didn't proof that Daniel IS a fraud. All that person did was saying what techniques he would be using IF he was a fraud.
@@armchaircouch just read that. Looks like some egotistical oneupmanship. He might be that intelligent, but what good does being a dick about it do? I can tell that this Daniel dude has a heart of gold. I know who I'd rather talk to IRL. 🤣 The other guy just sounds like a nitpicking internet troll.
Is there a version without the music?
I like his hair styled this way, it really fits him.
no it doesnt.
+Eamanuel Spada yeah it does.
He's relaxing to listen to.
I adore daniel tammet when i watched his docu i blew my mind, it was unbelievable that he cud memorize 20,ooo pie if im not mistaken
this is QUALITY content...love watching him speak. really helps people to think beyond the box because there is no box...think Neo
right John, this guy speaks so well since he is so knowledgeable about many languages and patterns.Love to see his art but imagine also the wealth of knowledge this guy walks around with , would love to hang around him
If this guy has any condition, it would that of being among the very few sane people on this planet
Glad to see him doing well.
I know this man has a super brain that can do ashtonishing things. But learning a language to conversational in a week is something I think you can do if you set your mind to it and have the interest. I remember when I first started to learn Chinese. I would remember every word and its meaning after just having it introduced to me once, because I was so absoltuely eagerly interested in the language that I just could not forget what I was learning.
11:01 What an utterly profound and interesting thought. I asked for words to come in and help me to write a short story about an object in my room. I started seeing images of perhaps the interesting "life" or function of the object forming. This is quite profound.
Do you need a thinker to have a thought or is the thought waiting for the thinker?
Were and are great scientists and thinkers of our time known and unknown tapping into this immense universal phenomena?
Isn't it supposedly hard for savants to express their thoughts? This man is exceptionally gifted indeed!
So happy to see him again! He seems so happy and content. Also glad to hear he's married; so often autism stands in the way of successful relationships.
Just at 6:07, when it turns over to 6:08; I can listen to his voice saying 'connection' all freaking day.
I hope the Ph.D profs will be able to learn something from this guy.
Especially those with a big ego ... So approx. 90% ...
abstract thinker extraordinaire.!
Most remarkable guy!
Fascinating to hear him speak. Great to hear his perspective and take on things. I am a little disappointed that a person this smart, while willing to contemplate other universes and other types of time, is not willing to entertain the idea of extraterrestrial intelligence. Indeed there is no direct mathematical proof of alien intelligence, or even life outside of our solar system, but look at the numbers. The sheer staggering amount of stars in our universe makes the *lack* of alien life unlikely. We are making strides in our ability to detect planets, but we are still in the early stages. Despite this, 'lo and behold, we have already discovered several earth-like candidates. It would be really interesting to hear more of his reasoning behind this. Anyone know of any videos?
Yup, it's the sheer size of the numbers you're overlooking. Regarding time itself, what such vast numbers support is that intelligent life "out there" would have come into existence long before we did, and therefore long ago would have evolved past where we are now... in which case they too would have been looking for intelligent life "out here," and would have found us. Since there no clear (clean) indication this has happened, and since it's so difficult to imagine someone would "know about us yet choose to not make us aware of it," yes, the proper deductive conclusion is that it's not likely any such life is out there. The large numbers make that conclusion a more likely one, not a less likely one.
I totally agree with him about the dangers of social media. Gave up FB for exactly that reason.
This man is my new icon.
"Time is orange". Well ... yeah.
his accent has changed over the years and even in this video it fluctuates. so interesting
oh, never mind, just got to the part where he mentions that he moved to France haha
The music is too loud!
Love Emancipator!
The Bible says that creation 'speaks' about and teaches about God so much so that this fact is 'inexcusable'. I agree that plants, mountains, oceans, artwork, etc. speak to us. I have a love of words, especially adjectives. I find words like miracles, capable of great endless things. The writer is exerting power through the words but even after death or when the writer is unknown, WORDS stand alone and go on exerting power. Great example of this is the Bible which continues to exert powerful influence over people's lives. We are better off and more whole when we 'communicate' connect with creation and inanimate things. It makes us healthier, happier, more balanced and stronger.
Rad!
I love how they are playing flying lotus as background music.
What song is it?
Which doctor did you visit?
Song at the very end?
i wonder if he can find more perfect numbers
Lose the airy fairy New Age music puh -leeze
why doesn't this fellow write the book of Pi? or part of the story...perhaps as far as 22514 digits...
Daniel, if you read this, please read the email I sent you through your website. Thanks so much.
'married a french MAN'? there goes my admiration of him
im so fucking envious of that guy, jesus fucking christ
These audio levels are low af
WHAT!?
Parlez vous Francais 👍👍 Oui Oui monsieur 🍫
I didn't know he was gay
I care olol
Sorry my english is so suck why?
wh y what
Sad he won't breed.
+Douglas Taylor he could if he wants. dummy.
If rain man could interpret his knowledge. Sinesthesia.
Flying Lotus lol
He sounds like sacha cohen and coincidentally he was diagnosed by his cousin
This video needs an ASMR audio mix. The transition from soft-spoken to annoyingly loud music swells is extremely offputting.
I wonder what’s his outlook on Gender and his reasoning on marrying a man as opposed to a woman.
... Because he's gay? You don't need a High Functioning Autistic Savant to tell you that.
watch it at 1.25 speed. its better
They just filmed him for fifteen minutes talking about himself? lol
Clearly the devil
all that ability and he becomes a writer, such a waste!
Yeah, Shakespeare, what a waste too, right?
But guys with edgy skull thumbnails leaving gratingly stupid comments; Perfecto 👌
Ok I not Knocking my Head to become A Savant . I am happy with my tiny Brain . Risk of becoming a Savant is too great ... I might become gay .... I love women ...sorry gay people
He has a great voice and he’s nice to listen to, but he doesn’t actually say anything useful at all.
In the end, nothing is accomplished, therefore everything is useless.
Stay thirsty my friends.
