And I was putting gas in my car and it was like eight o'clock at night and I finished and I got back to my car and I was driving.

My daughter was with me in the car and she was a little girl then.

And there was this like weird clanking sound behind me.

Like somebody had a muffler down right behind me.

Modern Wisdom

Until people started pointing to me at my car.

And I realized that I had driven away with the hose in my gas tank and I pulled it out of the gas pump and I was dragging it behind me, the whole mechanism behind me.

Modern Wisdom

Clankety, clankety, clank, right?

Modern Wisdom

And so I thought somebody else was doing a thing that I had actually done.

Modern Wisdom
Harvard Professor: Why Nothing Feels Real Anymore - Arthur Brooks - #1109

I'd confused the me-self and the I-self.

I was in this like weird fugue state.

Modern Wisdom
Harvard Professor: Why Nothing Feels Real Anymore - Arthur Brooks - #1109

It got real, real fast when I took it back to the gas station and these four Iranian dudes were standing around the gas pump really mad.

Modern Wisdom
Harvard Professor: Why Nothing Feels Real Anymore - Arthur Brooks - #1109

like who destroyed our pump.

Modern Wisdom
Harvard Professor: Why Nothing Feels Real Anymore - Arthur Brooks - #1109

I also found out how much it costs to fix a gas pump.

Modern Wisdom
Harvard Professor: Why Nothing Feels Real Anymore - Arthur Brooks - #1109

It's expensive.
