This picture doesn't show up well enough on screen. In the original, you really could read the letters "S E X" airbrushed into the highlights in the curls of her hair below her chin and above her, um, pendant."Hope is a good thing; maybe the best of things."
"Beer is a sign that God loves us and wants us to be happy." -- Benjamin Franklin
"Being Irish, he had an abiding sense of tragedy, which sustained him through temporary periods of joy." -- W. B. Yeats
"People generally are most impatient with those flaws in others about which they are most ashamed of in themselves." - folk wisdom

[in] a short film of two teams passing basketballs, one team [is] wearing white shirts, the other wearing black. The viewers of the film are instructed to count the number of passes made by the white team [only]. This task is difficult and completely absorbing. Halfway through the video, a woman wearing a gorilla suit appears, crosses the court, thumps her chest, and moves on. The gorilla is in view for 9 seconds. Many thousands of people have seen the video and about half of them do not notice anything unusual.
[more description and commentary]
The gorilla study illustrates two important facts about our minds: we can be blind to the obvious, and we also are blind to our blindness."Hope is a good thing; maybe the best of things."

Originally posted by FreshFish View PostDaniel Kahneman, in Thinking Fast and Slow, recounts an even more amazing example. (actually, now that I look it up...) he cites a book by Chabris and Simons called The Invisible Gorilla. As described by Kahneman:In the immortal words of Jean Paul Sartre, 'Au revoir, gopher'.
