A SELF-DESCRIBED YOUTUBE INFLUENCER BY THE NAME OF
CHLOE FELDMAN POSTED A LITTLE PIECE OF AUDIO THAT PEOPLE
HAVE BEEN DEBATING ABOUT AND THE REASON WHY THEY ARE
DEBATING IS BECAUSE DIFFERENT PEOPLE HERE SOMETHING
COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FROM OTHER PEOPLE.
IT IS THE WHOLE LAUREL OR JOHNNY DEBATE AND WE ARE GOING TO
LET YOU LISTEN TO IT NOW AND THEN YOU DECIDE FOR
YOURSELVES WHAT YOU HEAR AND THEN WE WILL DISCUSS THE
POTENTIAL REASONS WHY PEOPLE ARE HEARING DIFFERENT THINGS.
TAKE A LOOK.
LAUREL.
SO I PERSONALLY HEARD LAUREL.
I HEARD LAUREL.
I HEARD LONNIE.
HE IS THE ONLY ONE HEARING LONNIE.
THAT IS PROBABLY WHY I HEARD LAUREL, KNOW WHAT I AM SAYING?
I ALSO HEARD LAUREL, BUT THERE ARE EXPERTS WHO STUDY
THINGS LIKE THIS AND HAVE SOME POTENTIAL EXPLANATIONS WHY
PEOPLE HEAR DIFFERENT THINGS.
THAT IS ACCORDING TO A LINGUISTICS PROFESSOR
AND APPARENTLY I DIDN'T KNOW THIS,
FREQUENCY, YOUR ABILITY TO HEAR FREQUENCY CHANGES AS YOU AGE SO
AS YOU GET OLDER, YOU ARE LESS LIKELY TO HEAR HIGHER
FREQUENCIES.
THIS IS WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THE STORY.
IT IS TRIPPY THAT YOU COULD BE IN THE ROOM WITH THE SAME
PERSON AND YOU HEAR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FROM
WHAT THEY ARE HEARING THAT IS THE BEGINNING OF THE STORY.
THIS IS JUST A STARKER EXAMPLE, BUT WE ALL ACTUALLY HEAR AND SEE
AND SENSE THINGS SLIGHTLY DIFFERENTLY.
THIS JUST HAPPENS TO BE STARK ENOUGH THEY HAS CAUGHT OUR
ATTENTION AND OF COURSE THE GOLD DRESS BLUE DRESS AS WELL BUT WE
ALL SEE AND HAVE DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE ON THE WORLD AND
THERE IS A WEIRD THING ABOUT ME IN PARTICULAR, BECAUSE IT IS SO
HARD TO UNDERSTAND OTHER PERSPECTIVES AND I TRY HARD AND
THIS IS A GOOFY EXAMPLE OF IT, BUT THE EAGLE CAN SEE WAY
FURTHER THAN HUMAN BEINGS CAN.
OBVIOUSLY ALL ANIMALS ARE DIFFERENT ANIMALS ARE INNOCENT.
I ALWAYS THINK WHAT DOES THE EAGLE SEE?
I GET IT THAT YOU HAVE BETTER EYESIGHT THAN I DO, YOU CAN
READ
FURTHER OUT BUT HOW DO YOU SEE FURTHER?
BECAUSE I'VE NEVER EXPERIENCED THAT, I DON'T HAVE THAT
PERSPECTIVE, IT IS HARD FOR ME TO THINK ABOUT WHAT THEY ARE
SEEING SO A STORY LIKE THIS IS GREAT BECAUSE IT GETS US TO
REALIZE WE ALL HAVE DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES AND THAT THOSE
DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES AREN'T NECESSARILY WRONG, THEY ARE JUST
A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE AND THAT WE ALL HAVE ONE THAT IS SLIGHTLY
DIFFERENT AND THAT IS WHY I AM AN ADVOCATE OF AND IF ANYTHING
OVER COMMUNICATION, WHICH MAKES SENSE BECAUSE I'M A
TALKSHOW HOST.
THIS HAPPENS IN MARRIAGES AND IN BUSINESSES, EVERYWHERE
WHERE EVERYBODY THINKS, MY PERSPECTIVE NOT ONLY IS THE
RIGHT ONE BUT THEY THINK, ALMOST EVERYBODY THINKS THAT THE
PERSPECTIVE THEY HAVE IS THE ONE SHARED BY EVERYONE.
SO WHY ARE YOU REACTING THAT WAY WHEN I DON'T REACT THAT WAY?
BECAUSE THEY MIGHT NOT HAVE EVEN PERCEIVED IN ANY WAY THE
WAY THAT YOU DID.
IF TWO PEOPLE ARE LOOKING AT THE EXACT SAME THING OR
LISTENING TO THE EXACT SAME AUDIO BUT THEY HEAR OR SEE TWO
COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THINGS, THINK ABOUT THE FRUSTRATION THAT
THOSE TWO PEOPLE HAVE AS THEY ARE COMMUNICATING ABOUT WHAT
THEY JUST SAW OR HEARD AND I FEEL LIKE WE KEEP SEEING THAT
OVER AND OVER AGAIN WHEN IT COMES TO THE FUNDAMENTAL
FACTS OF STORIES, FOR INSTANCE.
YOU WILL HAVE TWO DIFFERENT GROUPS OF PEOPLE WHO SEE THE
SAME FACTS, BUT THEY INTERPRET THOSE FACTS DIFFERENTLY.
THEY HAVE A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT WORLDVIEW.
I DO NOT KNOW, I JUST THINK THAT IS FASCINATING AND IT MAKES
ME FEEL LIKE THERE IS NO HOPE.
LET ME GIVE A SMALL AND A BIG EXAMPLE.
IF YOU GO AND SAY WHERE IS THE GAP AND SOMEBODY WILL LOOK
AT YOU LIKE ARGUE STUPID, YOU GO RIGHT AND LEFT, THEN RIGHT
AND LEFT.
OF COURSE, BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN TO THE MALL EVERY DAY
AND KNOW YOU KNOW WERE THE GAP IS THAT YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN
THERE BUT THEY CAN UNDERSTAND THAT YOU'VE NEVER BEEN THERE.
THAT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME BUT ON A GLOBAL SCALE, RIGHT NOW
ESPECIALLY IN THIS COUNTRY WE HAVE SEPARATED INTO OUR
DIFFERENT CAMPS AND WE CANNOT HEAR THE SAME THING AND WE
CANNOT SEE THE SAME THING AND WE DON'T EVEN RECOGNIZE THAT
WE ARE NOT HEARING AND SEEING THE SAME THING.
WE HAVE GOT TO GET PAST THAT AND I BELIEVE THAT YANNY
VERSUS LAUREL WILL FIX ALL OF THIS.
PERHAPS NOT, BUT IT IS BEGINNING OF HOPEFULLY A LITTLE
BETTER UNDERSTANDING.
