That guy was named funius Gage and he acted
differently because the rod gave him a frontal
lobotomy so he no longer had the decision process
before he acted.  His emotions were truley unleashed. 
I don't know that he necessarily saws the world any
different, unless maybe people acted differently
towards him because of it and that cause him to see
his environment and self-worth differently
