Kevin was fascinating with his broad base of investigation and knowledge, and a fresh and original synthesis. Super guest. Thank you both.

[dancestudent]

The man Kevin is so unique and special. There is much to learn from his sentience and his heart-focused humility and rare acuity of Oneness within the Vacuum. Thank you for bringing him to us Jeffrey. Such an uncommon pleasure!

[daniela]

It is such a pleasure to be able to listen to Mr Cann! His thought is very sophisticated and complex - I hope he will be invited again. Sincere thanks to both Mr Mishlove and Mr Cann for this episode of the podcast.

Great sense of humor too 😊

[fluxcapacitor]

In my opinion, one of the most interesting and thought provoking interviews of recent interviews! Thanks and I hope Kevin and Jeff can make a few additional interviews happen at some point.

Never have I connected better and related to a guest here on NTA (or anywhere for that matter) than I have with Kevin. The reason? Well I have never been tested for Autism but have always been a square peg in a world of round humans. Abused by my parents, hazed in school and the work place for most of my life. I have a documented “known” suffering soul in my father’s bloodline and wonder if I did not inherit a bit of that. Now as a senior I have some relief and live a happier existence but like Kevin have some strange stories to tell. Many thanks for this interview and thank you Kevin for enduring it all👍.

[tokernizer]

This was such a joy to listen to. What a brilliant and classy gentleman!

[mjones]

Fantastic, thank you Jeffrey and Kevin. Please a much longer interview next time :)

[panninggazz]

Thank you! I truly liked him saying something like: consciousness is not some kind of divine. .. that we all have it as ourselves.

Though diagnosis is not the end all, they do help. I am glad you were finally diagnosed, especially now when society is more respectful and accepting.

Groups are weird. I joined groups to be around like minded people and I, too, was not accepted much. They seemed, to me, to not be interested in research.

Love this guest! Will listen again since there's a lot to take in.
His sense if humor will get him through as it has so far. Heartbreaking about his parents.
Tesla had a similar background.
❤ thanks guys!

[restingwickd]

"Okay... fine then Sparky. You just go on with that view if you want" is my favorite quote of the day ♡

[johnnyfmorgan]

[AARCANUM]

I'm glad you have a guest who has survived childhood abuse. Many people have, but often feel isolated. I'm curious about the capacity non-verbal children with ASD have for psychic ability as an adaptation.
