I like to wait for the noise in the brain to recede and to have a better relationship to my unconscious. Any one who spends time with young people know that you can’t fake a play. There’s real play. Then there’s fake play. And when young people are fake playing, you see it immediately. I think that the brain is really uniquely organized to detect and distinguish between the two.
