And there's all this bullshit passing between men who are fighting or women who are fighting each other. We want to dominate, but, If you release that and you're thinking about the learning process and you stop holding, then you're moving and you're getting nonstop exposure to the in-between. So if you spend your life training in the in-between, then you have more frames than other people do.

That's a lot of what illusionists are doing. They spend all of their time training in the spaces that other people don't look at. And so it's not magic. It's brilliant training. It's the art of illusion at the in-between. And a lot of the things that you can do, a high-level martial artist can do to a lower-level martial artist or someone who doesn't train, it feels mystical.

It's all about that principle manifest in interesting ways. And in general, like for me, and this goes back to the question you asked two or three brilliant, expansive questions ago around intense moments. A lot of what my training has been is having some serendipitous intense moment and then learning, and then it becomes a beacon.

So for example, there was a moment I was playing in a world chess championship in Calicut, India, and I was deep into a calculation, couldn't find the solution, and then there was an earthquake. And everything started, in the actual world, everything started shaking, right? But I experienced the earthquake from inside of the chess position, And I knew there was an earthquake, but I also was lost.

My brain was lost in the labyrinth. And I found the solution. And then I got up and left, vacated, because we had to leave the playing hall. Then we came back and I made my move and went on to win. And it was so interesting because it was like, and then I,

The earthquake, like a lot of what happens in chess is that you're reaching so deep into the complexity, like into the cupboard, but the solution is right here at the front. And all you have to do is come back out and surface.

One of the best ways, by the way, to prevent, to minimize chess blunders with like talented young players or players of any age is to shift the order of decide, make the move, and then write it down because you notate your chess games to... decide, write it down, and then make the move. The write it down is a resurfacing, and you have common sense, look at the position.

Almost all chest blunders, you realize you've blundered instantly. You can think for 20 minutes, make your move, you know instantly you've blundered. Because there's not that surfacing, right? But then you can learn to just do the surfacing before making the actual move. It's true with human decision-making in general. Right, we realize the screw-up right as we complete it.
