I have a hypothesis.
I saw on the history channel about 2 years ago about a Russian man that had unlimited memory. His name escaped me... probably forever.
According to the program, many many many scientists tested him over and over for like 30 years and they ended up concluding that his memory simply had no limits. He was able to remember everything about everything about everything.
The program went on to say that some people might think he had a wonderful gift and that he must have done something noteworthy for himself. In reality, his life was a complete failure. He was never able to have a conversation with anyone at all. Whenever he tried to talk with someone, every word the other person said to him would trigger him to remember everything that ever remotely related to each and every word. Every moment of his life flashed through his head over and over all the time.
The sad ending of his story. He ended up working for a circus, and even then he had trouble with his job. There were just too many things that came to him everytime he saw something or heard something. He died a poverish and lonely man.
Brad's posts, although not as extreme as the Russian man I described, seem to follow in the same path. It would seem that he is very knowledgable about a wild range of fields. If you read his posts carefully, most of them make no sense at all. However, if you stop trying to relate each sentence with the original topic, ... well... they make even less sense. However, well... ok... actually...
Ok, I can't really confirm my hypothesis, since I'm having a lot of difficulties understanding a lot of his words.
To those that are the Brad McFall experts and semi-experts, could you tell me if this is even close?
Is it possible that the reason he is having trouble communicating with the rest of us is because every word that came to his mind about the original topic reminds him of a kazillion other things completely unrelated to the topic?
