PART I INATTENTIONAL BLINDNESS: Is that an Invisible Gorilla, or are you just happy to see me?
Did you know that there are invisible gorillas all around us? They are the ones that steal our socks and hearts and make us stay in love with our exes longer than the norm. They are also the ones that post the misinformation online the first time and don’t cite their sources. Darn you invisible gorillas
Inattentional blindness is the reason that these gorillas get by scot free, they are the reason you didn’t see the cyclist in your blind spot and why when looking for your keys you literally miss your keys. It is the function of our attention being so invested that we have no more attentional capacity to see anything else, especially things that we are not expecting to see.
If Elon Musk was to come on stage and do a dance at a Taylor Swift concert I genuinely think I would miss it because of the attention to the girl of the moment, and this happens to us during less exciting parts of our lives as well, the less exciting parts being the experiments undertaken to explain this phenomenon, but the results are exciting and thereby the ep is exciting.
Listen to the ep now and you will win 1 intelligence point and 1 charisma for having a cool study to discuss with your friends at the dinner parties.
