I Am Lost In Thought
For anyone interested in thought experiments:
Lets imagine you see a squirrel. He runs and hides behind a tree. You want to get a second look at the squirrel so you start circling around the tree.
But this is the worlds smartest squirrel. In fact, he has psychic powers and knows what you are doing.
Just go with it for now.
So, as you are circling, he decides to keep out of your vision just at the base of the tree. So however quickly you circle around the tree, he stays on the opposite side out of vision until you run around a dozen times and give up.
Ok, so did you circle the squirrel? Or did you only circle the tree?
