Pareidolia - The Cointalk (Newbie) Enigma

I'm a big fan of Pareidolia because none of us would be here without it.

The downside of thinking there is a hungry lioness in the weeds at the edge of the watering hole when there is not one there is that you go elsewhere for water. And probably live to become one of my ancestors.

The downside of not thinking there is a hungry lioness in the weeds at the edge of the watering hole when there IS one there is that you don't become one of my ancestors.

What's the most important contributing factor to ME? Why ancestors, of course!

That isn't a lioness...it's a Sasquatch.

 

Well, you want to befriend Sasquatch - he knows all the best secret places to pick up dinner and late-night snacks.

 

How about seeing something that was there!

 

Sometimes when I read a posters descriptions of what secret images they see on their coins across the various forums I visit I can only wonder is weed involved.

 

Vivid imagination

Drugs

Wishful thinking

 

Good planning.

 

I knew a guy many years ago whose hobby was laying on the grass field at the park for hours while smoking a joint or two and then looking up at the clouds, making different things out of the shapes of the clouds. He used to do this for literally hours at a time. Obviously his hobby was cloud pareidolia hunting.

 

Ed's good at that. I love how he points these things out to us. What an imagination some of these people have!

 

OK, Ill remember the next time it looks like rain Jim

 

Yeah, I started to move down the page and the face startled me!

 

A rabbit pounding mochi.

 

Gossip and Satan came also.

 

Social donkey
