A Holiday Check-in on Anything and Everything With Chuck Klosterman

Aber schau, was du gerade gesagt hast. Es macht ihn denken, dass er die Geschichte des Basketballs versteht. In der gleichen Weise, glaube ich, als du sein Alter warst, als du sein Alter warst, glaubst du, dass du eine volle Verständnis von Basketball und der Geschichte des Basketballs hattest, die jetzt zurückkommt.

Well, it is, yes. Like, is it possible that if I, if TikTok had existed when I was younger, would I have, like, would I think Connie Hawkins is one of the five best players of all time? You know, would I think World B3 is better than he is? I guess maybe. I mean, this is like... World B3 is a good example. It would have been a whole World B3 is a problem. Yeah.

I read this book a bunch of years ago. The book is called Black Swan. The guy who wrote the book, he gets kind of a punching bag now for some reason, but this book had some interesting ideas in it.

One of the things he mentions is this kind of as a side sort of, is something that I've always kind of kept in my mind, which was this test that one time was done on people, where they would say like, take a picture of a fire hydrant next to like a Volvo, okay? and then they would make the photo extremely blurry.

And then they would have two groups of people look at that image, slowly become sharper. They would take away the fuzziness. Some people were given 25 steps. There would be 25 steps along the way from the most fuzzy to the least fuzzy. And some people would be given 10. I'm just kind of making these figures up. But one is like, it's 25 incremental steps against 10 incremental steps.

And they did find that the people who had 25 incremental steps more information, figured out it was a fire hydrant in a Volvo later. Because every sort of wrong image allowed them to sort of make up what it could be. Maybe it's a Dalmatian. Oh, maybe it's a Rubik's Cube or whatever.

Whereas the people getting only the 10 incremental changes were better because they didn't have the ability to sort of project other ideas onto what it was. What you're saying is kind of the same thing. That you're saying that because of TikTok in a way, people are getting all these sort of random images of things. It allows them to have sort of obscure, arcane, inaccurate thoughts.
