When I was 12 years old,
I fractured my foot playing soccer.
I didn't tell my parents when I got home that night,
because the next day, my dad was taking me to see a movie,
a soccer movie.
I worried that if I told my parents about the foot,
they would take me to see a doctor.
I didn't want to see a doctor,
I wanted to see the movie.
The next morning, my dad goes,
"It's nice out. Why don't we walk to the theater."
(Laughter)
It was a mile away.
As we go, he says,
"Why are you limping?"
I tell him I have something in my shoe.
The movie was spectacular.
It told the story of some of soccer's greatest stars,
great Brazilian players.
I was ecstatic.
At the end of the movie, I told my dad about the foot;
he took me to see an orthopedic doctor,
who put my foot in a cast for three weeks.
I tell you the story today, because four decades later,
I don't really consider myself a soccer fan anymore.
Today, my sports fandom is tuned to another kind of football.
Now my 12-year-old self wouldn't just find this incomprehensible.
My 12-year-old self would see this as a betrayal.
Now you might say we all change from the time we are 12,
so let me fast-forward a decade.
When I was 22,
I was a freshly minted electronics engineer in southern India.
I had no idea that three decades later, I would be living in the United States,
that I would be a journalist,
and that I would be the host of a podcast called "Hidden Brain."
It's a show about human behavior
and how to apply psychological science to our lives.
Now we didn’t have podcasts when I graduated from college.
We didn’t walk around with smartphones in our pockets.
So my future was not just unknown;
it was unknowable.
All of us have seen what this is like in the last three years,
as we slowly try and emerge from the COVID pandemic.
If we think about the people we used to be three years ago, before the pandemic,
we can see how we have changed.
We can see how anxiety and isolation
and upheavals in our lives and livelihoods,
how this has changed us, changed our outlook,
changed our perspective.
But there is a paradox here,
and the paradox is when we look backwards,
we can see enormous changes in who we have become.
But when we look forwards,
we tend to imagine that we're going to be the same people in the future.
Now sure, we imagine the world is going to be different.
