Liked how Michael helped us see what we "want to see". Makes us aware of the assumptions that are driven by our biases and past experiences. Though getting a bit tired of seeing the monkey in these talks.

the human brain is wired to "see" patterns as well as faces in an attempt to make sense of the environment . this helps to facilitate survival in a hostile and competitive environment.

Although Shermer has a gig as being a "science authority," he doesn't think very scientifically at times. One has to wonder about him.
His views on this (or total ignorance of this) are interesting:

@mlbr23 Just by mentioning Al Gore, you've shown a massive ignorance in relation to global warming and climate change.

I saw the gorilla when I first saw this video in a class of mine, but I just barely caught it. I thought I was going crazy until the teacher asked if the students saw the gorilla.

Wow! That's an impressive demonstration.. I didn't see the gorilla?!
I even backed it up to rewatch the first time to be sure he wasn't fucking with me.
Sweet.

Don't be an idiot. Instincts are also directly caused by evolution.
