Pretty sure they got the idea from the Visual Cognition Lab at the University of Illinois. The original had a gorilla that actually moved a lost slower than the moon walking bear. It’s an even more striking example of how you don’t see things you’re not looking for. The VisCog folks label the video under: Sustained inattentional blindness — selective looking.
That term could be used for a lot outside the visual medium.

I took this test. As a veteran bike rider of over 40 years, I can tell you that the first rule is always make eye contact. The second rule, which I call the Newbies Rule, seems to be that whenever possible you should break the traffic laws by riding through intersections before the light changes in your favor. I always follow rule one and let the newbies in their riding shorts and team jerseys follow the second.

I never figured you for a Social Darwinist, rhb. Have you been reading Watson’s recent “work”?
And anyway, that wasn’t a bear, it was Sasquatch, which places the film somewhere in British Columbia. A terrible fraud, this supposedly British production. Terrible.

I doubt very seriously if I would go as far as Watson but I do believe that you deserve what you ask for. As far as thinning out the herd, obviously, it hasn’t worked as yet.
