The first thing about this article that stood out to me was the mentioning of natural selection. This is something that we continuously talked about in my previous LDST 102 class and a topic I find very interesting. The thought of the \u201cunconscious mind\u201d is one that I wonder how much it affects me in my daily life. I am very curious about how many unintentional mental interpretations I make every day without realizing. I also don\u2019t understand how the people who make these illusions come up with them in the first place if they are not aware yet. Similarly, I find it interesting how I our minds perception can switch once told about a different perception.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 This also made me think about the unintentional biases and opinions our minds make in society. If we make an assumption strictly through the use of our unconscious mind are we in the wrong, and do we have natural selection to blame (that sounds confusing, so an example would be assuming somebody\u2019s place of origin or gender)? Similarly, the misinformation effect has scary implications as well. Many times, when witnessed are being interviewed I wonder how they could not remember such a crazy event (assuming it is a murder, car accident, ect.) yet there are so many instances where I have made split second decisions and not been able to recall the timeline or my surroundings after. In all, I find this topic of unintentional doings of the mind extremely interesting, but not something I could comprehend well enough to study.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
