PART II: INATTENTIONAL BLINDNESS: Is that an Invisible Gorilla, or are you just happy to see me?

Part 2 of our episode EXPOSING the invisible gorilla theory, and now that we have broken it, no more research will be able to be conducted because of "demand characteristics" or something. Because we are just such a big huge podcast that every single person in the world will become academically compromised after listening to our episode. Thoughts and prayers.

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.

This episode we look into the research post invisible gorilla experiment so if you missed it listen to that one first!
