      Savants are typically very skilled at one specific thing, but are fairly helpless and dependent in much of the rest of their lives.

    • @jeffw1267
      @jeffw1267 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      In the mental calculation world, there have been a few savants who were also highly respected and accomplished in other areas, such as Alexander Aitken and George Bidder. But generally, a savant is an extremely single-minded and simple person who can only focus on developing one ability. If you spent your whole life focusing on mental calculations, and nothing else, you'd be very good at them.

    It’s fun to see the thread between members of the upright citizen’s brigade, like Amy Poehler, Andy Daley, Matt Walsh and this liar guy and how they always tend to guest on the same things as well as each other’s shows (all these people were recurring guests on Parks and Rec except for Daley). Also, Conan hire Tina Fey’s future husband to do bits like this as well. Conan was a mensch to the NYC improv community.

      @@jeffw1267 I trace it back to 2008. O'Brien, Letterman, Stewart, SNL, Maher, Colbert et al were all unwilling to satirize or joke about Barack Obama, after spending decades making Nixon, Carter, Reagan, Quayle, Bush Sr./Jr., Clinton, Gingrich, Delay, Gore, Dole, Kerry, Palin etc. the butt of their jokes. Obama was not to be made fun of under any circumstances. When Trump was elected, the "comedy" of Colbert, Kimmel, Maher, Samantha Bee, SNL and ilk simply became mean spirited, unfunny partisan political hackery. Biden also has been largely "off limits" to the ridicule foisted upon pols like Reagan, Bush and Trump. All those shows suck.

    Idiot Savant: An individual who exclusively focuses on the mastery of one aspect of performance (e.g. doing math, playing the piano), to the exclusion of all other skills, both technical and interpersonal. Known in less severe cases as nerd savants. Idiot Savants are to be distinguished from those folks who focus on all aspects of performance and are masters of none, but think they are savants one way or another. They are known as 'that bunch of idiots' or more formally as religious fundamentalists or Republicans.
