    Faced with two realities, forced to choose: either this random screenshot is unreliable, or Snopes is unreliable.

    I’m reminded of 1984’s double-think; I can believe two contradicting things are true at once. Rock really did tweet this, and yet Snopes is reliable.

    I remain happy.

    This reminds me of the Kiki/Bouba effect with congenitally blind individuals (blind from birth).

    Kiki and Bouba

    Basically, sight is needed for people to associate the sharp shape with Kiki and the rounded shape with Bouba. People that are blind from birth don’t really make this association, but after they gain sight they do!

    There is something in our brains that links sound, the feel of a shape, and the visuals of a shape the same way for almost everyone, but it needs to actually experience them first to make the connection.
