Anyway, I got to university and started working in a science lab.
It just seems like you would think that's the fast-track to understanding the brain, just to pull out a brain and then look at it.
But it turns out, of course, you learn nothing.
From looking at a brain, it's like all the biological sciences are less, teach us less than artists do.
But anyway, I was in that lab and I was like, we have this theory of the brain that it's like a computer and that it like has all this information and it's processing all this information.
I was like, that's not how my brain works at all.
Like my brain thinks in stories.
And I thought a lot back to when I was a child and how the most fascinating moments of my life have been when I encountered a news story.
And then I realized that I always wanted this power myself to be able to create a story.
And I always thought that was like the real gift.
And I sort of wanted to understand that.
And what I started slowly starting to realize is that the human brain thinks in story and the unique power of the human brain, which
It's kind of a gift is the ability to come up with a story that's never been told before.
And all of us have that, that power and that possibility.
And that comes to us from life.
If you look out in life, if you go into a forest, no two trees are the same, right?
Everything branches.
Same thing with stories.
No two stories are the same.
They all branch.
