Hey Rocky, watch me pull a meme out of my brain!

Answer this koan, and give an explanation and example. Try to answer as seriously as you can. Then ask me a koan.

If a tree falls in the forest, and no-one is there to hear it, does it make a sound?

Quantum state depends on observation.

If it is later observed, the downed tree's sound will reverberate in the internal ears of the observer.

If it is never observed, it never fell. Since the questions assumes it fell, it will necessarily later be observed.

Does expertise in an interest reduce one's appreciation of that interest?

No. Talent is enthusiasm combined with 10,000 hours of practice.
