To understand the rest of the story, you have to understand that our brains are slow. What you would like is that when light hits your eye, then -- ping! -- immediately you have a perception of what the world is like. But it doesn't work that way. It takes about a tenth of a second for your perception to be created.

I played some ping pong with the guys on the T'Wolves team. I might have been the champ on that team, too. But ping pong is a big part of my life. I grew up playing it against my brother and my father when I was young. They used to kick my behind for a long time, so I got very good at it.
