Stephen Wiltshire draws Rome from memory


Stephen Wiltshire is a British man who was diagnosed as autistic when he was a child. He's also been noted for his exacting memory, which allows him to recreate [in drawings] vast scenes he sees only once. This video shows his 16-foot-panorama of Rome after taking one helicopter ride above the city.

the problem is white supremacy,bullying of other nations which they don't consider as earthworth.e.g america in the middle east&africa.europeans colonisation of natural innocent continents.otherwise the world given it's natural function is at peace&at itz best i agree.

there's nothing wrong with the planet at the moment. it is a perfectly lovely place to live. it's just the few cancerous humans who are making it difficult for the rest of us.
