In 1848, there was a man named Phineas Gage; by all accounts, he was a great guy, a respected railroad foreman, known for being calm, responsible, and good with his crew. He was the kind of person you could trust.
Then, one afternoon, a freak accident happened!!
A planned explosion went wrong, and a three-foot iron rod shot through his head like a bullet… and out the other side.
Miraculously, he survived.
He could walk, talk, and remember who he was. But the “Phineas Gage” everyone knew was gone. The calm, reliable man was gone.
Replaced by an impulsive, erratic, and angry person who couldn’t make a good decision to save his life.
His friends said, “Gage was no longer Gage.”
The accident had physically disconnected the part of his brain that controlled reason and emotion.
He knew what the right thing to do was, but he was biologically incapable of doing it.
