The professor asked if we thought a wall was real, and then he ran right into it. As expected, he abruptly stopped when he collided with the wall. As students, we believed the wall had stopped him. But then he asked whether the wall stopped him because it was an obstacle or because he (and we) believed it was. I've been metaphorically running into walls and testing them ever since. And honestly, most walls stop us because we are convinced they can - not because they have the power to. I am now scheduling speaking engagements for 2024-2025.
