Evolution's End starts with a phenomenon we call the idiot-savant. The word idiot, meaning they simply are total idiots.  They have an average IQ of about 25. Most of them have to be fed and clothed and led around by the hand, they're nearly always institutionalized. And they have direct access, un-mediated access to it but they can't access non-localized fields of meaning. You have to ask them a question about that field of activity and instantly the answer will come from them and they are infallible.  They never make errors. They work just like a computer.

So we have all these different intelligences that are independent units. Now what we find is that these fields of intelligence are what the physicists would call non-localized.  Now this will drive you up a wall.  In fact the whole problem of non-localized energy is driving physicists up the wall.

But let’s say, here's our brain structure, okay?  That's my picture of the brain and my cartoon,  I'll  be making cartoons all day long which do grave injustice to the awesomeness of what goes on between our ears, but here's our brain.  Now let's say it's got all these neuro fields, and we'll talk about what a neuro field is in a minute because it's important to know.  Well, it's got all these neuro fields operating; we call them the brain sensory maps and so forth.  Now what they're doing is translating from fields of intelligence.  Well, where are fields of intelligence? You can't ask where they are.  They're not anywhere. 

But our brain translates from these hypothetical fields.  It translates them as our direct experience. Or our localization of that which is un-localized. So the brain is the translating medium between them.  Remember Karl Pribram, one of our great research persons at Stanford University, spoke years ago of the brain translating from a frequency realm.  What are frequencies?  Wave fields we call them.

A frequency realm which is not in time/space but as the brain translates from it, it creates our impression of time/space and we move in this marvelous world that the brain gives it. Now in the same way we find Gardener’s multiple intelligences or Montessori’s multiple intelligence and so on, as these fields of non-localized energy, the brain localizes them as our experience and we all share the same world out there because we're all drawing on what, the same fields. 

Evolution's End starts first chapter with a phenomenon we call the idiot-savant and recently Dr. Darold Treffert, a medical doctor who had been working with idiot -savant for 30 years or so turned out the first real study that has ever been done.  Scientists have ignored and in fact avoided the idiot -savant at all costs because they just challenge every scientific notion we have going. 

Now the idiot -savant, the word idiot, meaning they simply are total idiots.  They have an average IQ of about 25 and they call them savants which is the French word for learning person because, in spite of being totally un-educable, most of them have to be fed and clothed and led around by the hand, they're nearly always institutionalized. They're really vegetables kind of walking vegetables, but they have access to one of the major fields of intelligence. And they have direct access to it, un-mediated access to it but they can't access the field themselves.  You have to ask them a question about that field of activity and instantly the answer will come from them and they are infallible.  They never make errors.

Now how are you going account for this?  These people can't read or write they can't be taught.  Their vocabulary sometimes is almost nonexistent, limited until you point their button and now they come for hours and hours of information concerning that field of activity or possibility.  Mathematical savants. The British employed two in World War II.  They were infallible.  They worked just like a computer. 

If you ask one savant the equivalent of what is 2 squared  to the 64th power.  Now, this ends up as a number greater than the number of atoms we estimate to be in the sun.  The number is actually 18 quintillion, all the quadrillions, all the trillions, all the billions, millions, hundred thousands, et cetera.  It's the only number I know of greater than the national debt, and it took the savant 45 seconds to read the answer out. 

Now you ask him how do you know.  He can't even comprehend the question how do you know.  That's beyond him, it's too abstract.  But they're pleased that they're exceptional.  Now where does the answer come from?  They don't give the answer.  We furnish the stimulus.  The response their brain system is the answer automatically.

But, understand the savant only has generally one single field.  There are calendar savants who can give you any calendar date 40,000 years in the future or 40,000 years in the past.  Ask them when Easter is going to fall 20,000 years from now.  Instantly the answer comes along with all the tides and all the information that might be on the calendar for that day.  How do they know?  They don't know how they know.  But if you furnish the stimulus here comes the answer.

I will mention finally the automobile savant they had at Columbia University Medical Hospital and here again was this vegetable and if they would lead him over to a window and he'd look out at the streets of New York and then he'd sit down and he would list every automobile he had just spotted by the hundreds, as far as the eye could see, in the exact order according to their year production, their model and the kind of car they were.  Even if they were just hot off the press in Detroit or Tokyo. Why?  Because any human intellectual activity that we kicked up here in this localized sphere of our living world kicks up a corresponding what? Field of non-localized energy having to do with that activity.  And this particular savant just simply happened to have one neural field accessing the potential field of automobile.  That is the whole human history of automobiles and that whole conglomerate of experience.
