A guy from Utah called Stephen Chase, goes under for surgery and when he awakes, for about an hour he is speaking with nurses in fluent "Native Level" Spanish.
The media called it a miraculous event because it probably seemed that way and in some ways actually is
The strangest part is how it reveals more about the human brain and how it decides what data we have access to.
Throughout our lives we are absorbing data or information and storing it somewhere in the grey mush up top.
through the use of inhibitor mechanisms our brain decides what stays visible and what doesn't but the information seems to persist there for a long time.
The real question for me is, what would we discover if these inhibitor mechanisms were overcome and why does our brain have them in the first place?
Or is it something we should leave well alone?

If you could remove the inhibitors, would you?
I might, just for an hour to test it and remember where I lost my Airpods
Im mean he did live in spanish speaking countries for a couple of years but yeah miraculousÂ
Past/parallel lives bleeding in. The brain is a reicever.
From what I understand he didn’t wake up and magically learn Spanish. He was only speaking words he already knew in Spanish.
