Dean Kamen: The emotion behind invention

Dean Kamen talks about his motivation in building robotic arms/limbs for soldiers injured in war.
DEar Kamen

Very passionate. He sees the commitment that the soldiers have, and wants to repay it. As you see in the title, the talk is low on technology and high on helping people.

He wants to get it to the point where his arms are better than nature.

Daniel Tammet: Savant (2011)

He is a functioning savant. His speach is slow and measured which I very much enjoyed while blasting down the autobahn, but found boring on the second viewing.

Synesthesia must be nice.

He claims that how we percieve things influences how we learn and what we know.
