167. “Message of Love from the Dolpins”
(Message d’Amour des Dauphins)
If you look at the vase you’ll probably agree
that it depicts a man holding and kissing a
woman from behind. What if I told you that
the image in fact depicts a number of
dolphins?
In fact it depicts both - it’s all a matter of how
your brain interprets it. Kids, who are
“inexperienced” tend to see the dolphins.
Grownups tend to see the loving couple, Some
grownups can’t even see the dolphins if they
try really hard.
It’s all about what the brain expects and
knows. If you know how to see a certain
pattern, you’re more likely to see that pattern.
