Kim Peek was an American savant born with an abnormally large head and serious developmental challenges. Doctors discovered that the bundle of nerves connecting the two hemispheres of his brain was missing. They considered him mentally retarded and advised his parents to send him to a mental institution, but they refused.
At six years old, doctors recommended a lobotomy to "cure" him, but his parents didn't consent. Despite this, Kim started to amaze them, reading and memorizing vast amounts of information in various subjects, such as history, literature, geography, and dates. It was recorded that he could accurately recall the contents of at least 12,000 books.
Peek read by scanning the left page with his left eye and the right page with his right eye. He remains one of the greatest savants in history and inspired the 1988 Academy Award-winning film Rain Man.

On the second night of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour, an Arizona couple sat front row and exchanged vows during a set change (from “Red” to “Folklore”) in a three-minute ceremony. There was even a wedding gift from the stage team: one of Swift’s guitar picks. https://t.co/pbxsMrsQQP
The 1st Amendment was first for many articulable reasons.
Without freedom of speech and assembly the other amendments are mooted.
Currently I fear governments taking away my books as they undermine the 1st Amendment.
"They" aren't coming for your guns.
"They" are coming for our words.
Next our ideas.
