Now, this guy named uh the dot psychologist and you'll finish it off. Piaget did a a number of experiments and it unbelievable. And he did he did the following. He took a bunch of kids and he played blocks with them on the floor in Chavez afternoon. But that's a different story. Back to this one. He took two kids and he would sit them opposite each other. And he would hold up something between them. And he would say the following. You ready? Yeah. >> What's your name? Edward. >> Edward? What do I see? >> We have this in between us. So, what what do I What am I seeing? Well, I see that you're holding an Asus phone. >> What am I seeing? Oh, the backside of an Asus phone. What's there? What do I see? >> I don't know, sir. I don't know. The lawyer says uh don't say anything. Just uh What do I see? >> see your side, so I don't So, Piaget did this with young kids. What do you think the young children answered? Two, three, four, five years old? Probably the phone, the phone, the phone, the phone. Or what else? Describe. What do I see? Like a phone screen. It's black. It's dark. It's >> Excellent. What they did is they would say the following. They would go ahead and they would say, "You know what you're seeing?" Say it. Exactly what I'm seeing. A kid can only see through their own world. Everybody gets this? They can only see through their own world. So, everything they see, it must be what everyone else is seeing. And they don't get it. If you If someone is seeing something else, like, I don't understand what you're even saying, cuz I see right now I'm looking what you're looking at and I don't see what you're seeing. How's that even possible? Something's wrong over here, right? That's it. What does a kid do when they want to hide? A little kid when they want to hide, what do they do? They're good. Right? They go ahead and they and they cover their eyes. You can't see me because if I can't see me or if I can't see, then you also can't see. My my I have a 3-year-old who sometimes when I when I go and I you know, he does something wrong and I have to tell him he's doing something wrong, he goes like this. As if like now it's okay. I don't exist anymore. Nothing bad is happening. Yeah? We go ahead and if I can't see or hear, then it's as if it doesn't exist. The goal in life is to grow up a little bit. And to grow into a way where you're able to see outside of just yourself. And be able to get to a level where I'm not just seeing me, but I'm I'm also seeing from your eyes and
