In yesterday's post I compared our conscious faculties of perception to a flashlight. I said that the beam represented the focus of our attention. Well, the following video provides a nice demonstration of how that beam works by asking you to perform a simple task that is surprisingly difficult. So, pay close attention, follow the instructions, and enjoy.
Now, let's suppose that you had decided to stop watching video at around the 0:44 second mark and you just said, "Forget it. Forget Bryan and his stupid blog, and his stupid video. Screw him and the horse he rode in on.", and you just walked away and never watched the rest of the video. I'll give you one hint what you would have dreaming about tonight.
