Put your self in a position I found myself in today.
You are in a lab having agreed to an experiment studying the brain. They have instruments set up reading your brainwaves and monitoring your neuron activity. Their hypothesis is they can predict everything you will do based on what your brain does for the seven seconds preceding your decision. About a half hour passes of being uncomfortable at the idea that the scientists in the room with you are predicting every spoken word, nose rub and eye movement seven seconds before it is actually said, rubbed, or moved.
A thought entered my head and a second later I stand up, slap one guy in the face, punch another in the gut, and try to kiss the girl standing next to them. I stand on the couch and point at the vacant air and shout: Watch out! The aliens are coming! The I pee in a plant and leave.
I decide that it was one of the most satisfying experiences I've had in a while. I've start sharing this story and advising people who feel like they're in a rut to do something very unpredictable while people are trying to predict their actions.
Hypothetically, what would you do?
