A-C-I-N-T-A. Jacinta sounds about right.

All right, well how many of you have seen the famous, probably every one of you, the famous audio illusion in which you could hear what is it, green needle or something else, so you could hear two different things even though it's always the same? Well have you seen the one where there's a whole list of things you can see? This is the one that will completely change your opinion about the world.

Now I don't know if you can hear it. Hold on. All right, so before I put on the audio, just see that there's a whole list of different things which the same audio will sound like, but only if you're looking at it at the time. So in other words, if you're looking at the line that says "baptism piracy," you hear exactly that on the audio. As soon as you move to any other thing on the list, and there are two, four, six, eight, there are eight things here, eight completely different sets of words, completely different, you can hear each of them clearly by reading it at the same time as the music.

Now I don't think it'll come through very well on my audio, but you'll at least get the sense that this is the most mind-bending thing you'll ever see in your life, right? So here's the sound.

I just realized this doesn't work at all because you can't read the sentences, but you can hear this as "Bart Simpson bouncing rotating pirate ship," "that isn't my receipt," "lobsters in motion," "that is embarrassing," "lactates and pharmacy," "baptism piracy," or "that isn't mercy." No sound? Yeah, there's plenty of sound, so the people saying there's no sound are just trolls.

Now here's why this is so mind-blowing. When the audio illusion was two different things, you could tell yourself, oh well that's a weird coincidence. There are two different things that in the right conditions you would confuse with each other in a way. It's not really that interesting, is it? It's not really interesting. But what happens when there's eight entirely different words that you could hear clearly by looking at them when the same sound is playing? How do you explain that?

The only way to explain that is that reality is super subjective. Now you knew reality was subjective because we all have different opinions looking at the same stuff, but I'll bet you didn't know it was that subjective. I mean that is really subjective. And that might be the way you walk around through life all the time.

You know, I think it was in the '60s the first time I heard "you hear what you want to hear, you see what you want to see." And the first time I heard that it was sort of mind-blowing. Really? Do you hear what you want to hear? Hmm, I'm not so sure. Because you know I was a kid. I was like, I don't know, that sounds a little simplistic, doesn't it? But you do. You actually hear what you want to hear.
