SLCW💥<p>I am extremely suspicious of claims that particular <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/opticalIllusions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>opticalIllusions</span></a> reveal some aspect of your <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/personality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>personality</span></a>. Humans are <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/pattenRecognition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pattenRecognition</span></a> machines with tendencies for <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/apophenia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>apophenia</span></a> and <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/pareidolia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pareidolia</span></a>. It is in our nature to seek out patterns in noise, and to recognize faces in random data. I'd be interested in actual studies that establish a link between these phenomena, and an individual's personality, but I suspect they don't exist.</p><p><a href="https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/life/1870456/optical-illusion-kindhearted-or-goal-orientated/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">express.co.uk/life-style/life/</span><span class="invisible">1870456/optical-illusion-kindhearted-or-goal-orientated/</span></a></p>
SLCW💥<p>The famous so-called face on <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/Mars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mars</span></a> isn't actually a face. It's a mountain with features and shadows that make it look like a face from certain perspectives. Our interpretation of it as a face is an example of <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/pareidolia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pareidolia</span></a>—a form of <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/apophenia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>apophenia</span></a>—which is a phenomenon in which we perceive faces in otherwise abstract features. It's a quirk of the human mind based on our tendency to seek out patterns in chaos.</p><p><a href="https://www.unilad.com/community/face-on-mars-photo-nasa-life-existed-planet-181868-20230725" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">unilad.com/community/face-on-m</span><span class="invisible">ars-photo-nasa-life-existed-planet-181868-20230725</span></a></p>
