You-Can-Shoot-Me-If-You-Dont-Have-Fun Exercise -
1. Ask the person next to you, as to which direction the dancer appears to be spinning.
2. If both of you dont differ, observe together for a few seconds for any changes in direction.
What to expect - Both of you might differ immediately OR you might agree initially, but one of you might see the direction change while the other will not see that change....
Extrapolating, as usual, this optical illusion shows why different people can have different opinions about an issue even when there are no conflicts of interest. That thought should help to reduce pervasive cynicism a little bit.
Extrapolating further, maybe there is no such thing as 'absolute right/wrong'. Extrapolating further-further, maybe nothing we see is real..everything is Maya...Dammit, I think I might have hit the extrapolation limit at this point..
