Bruce Lee is Awesome

Holy shit! Is this real? Do I care!!? That is badass! Seriously the most kickass thing I've seen in a while.

But really though, I don't think that it really matters if this is real or not. 

Let me explain:

Unlike Michael Vick throwing footballs out of the stadium, or LeBron James shooting full court shots, nunchuk ping pong is physically possible. In fact the only reason most people think its fake, is that a) its a Nokia commercial for their new Bruce Lee phone, and b) while he probably could have, it's unlikely Bruce Lee took the time to learn to do this. He other things on his mind.

But, someone is actually watching this video and thinking, "That is awesome. I want to do that." I wouldn't be surprised if we see some kid doing this for real on youtube in a year or so. That is the power of enthusiasm.

Science fiction is another good example of this concept. With the two large caveats of teleportation and space travel, look at how almost everything in Star Trek exists now. Sliding doors, talking computers, digital communicators (in fact, the original communicators on Star Trek look like bullshit compared to my cellphone). All these things came about because someone saw Star Trek and was like, "How cool is that? I bet we can make that happen."

As we speak, even though gas is only going to skyrocket, people are working on flying cars, because so many people read about them or saw them on TV and said, "Flying cars. Fuck yes. I'm in. Lets do this."
