Shoutout to that old video of a politician blinking weird that made me question everything

I used to only look at the mouth and eyes for tells, but that clip from a city council meeting last month had a flicker in the background sign. Do you think we focus too much on faces and miss the environment?

Read a whole article about that, it's called "context blindness.

Yeah, that makes so much sense. My friend got totally lost in a new city last week because her map app glitched. She was staring at the blue dot so hard she missed the huge park right next to her, the one she was supposed to walk through. Kinda like what pat_murray53 said about missing the forest. She had zero context, just this broken picture on her screen. Felt bad for her, took her an hour to figure it out.

Guess I've been staring at faces so long I missed the forest for the trees...
