[0:00]The human brain cannot comprehend the negative. It is incapable. I'll give you an example. You ready? Don't think of an elephant. Oh. My God, yeah I know.

If you go through trees on skis and you go, "Don't hit a tree, don't hit a tree, don't hit a tree, don't hit a tree." Guess what you're watching? You're only looking at trees.
