This is seriously so cool. What a great day to post this too, I’m going to see the movie tomorrow! Throughout my childhood. Holmes was always sort of the person I looked at thinking *woah, I wish I could think like that*. This podcast was incredibly interesting to me, in that, it related Holme’s incredible thought process to normal Human psychology. This was really really cool, and a bigg thumbs up too both The Critical Wit Podcast and Maria Konnikova for such a unique and yet overly awesome podcast!
