Consciousness

Daniel Tammet has an amazing mind. He can recite from memory 22 thousand digits in the number pi. He can learn a foreign language in a week. But he also has trouble with simple directions, like telling the difference between left and right, and he's had to teach himself to laugh at jokes. Tammet is an autistic savant, and sees the world in a very different way. In this hour of To The Best Of Our Knowledge we'll explore the mystery of consciousness.
