This wide-ranging conversation dives deep into likely the most brilliant mind by exploring the topics of Critical Race Theory, limited government, the human brain, education reform, the purpose of one's life, finding purpose through failure, and his newly-launched American Cornerstone Institute. #criticalracetheory

In 1987, Carson was the lead neurosurgeon of a 70-member surgical team that separated conjoined twins Patrick and Benjamin Binder, who had been joined at the back of the head (craniopagus twins). The separation surgery held promise in part because the twin boys had separate brains.
