1123: David Eagleman | Your Prehistoric Brain on Modern Problems

That's it. That's the whole thing. That's the right way to do it.

I hope that is where it'll go 100 years from now. And by the way, let me just note, in case any of the listeners are thinking, hey, who even uses cash anymore? What's interesting is how much it's used around the world. Cash is still king. Really? Despite crypto, despite credit cards, all that stuff. Yeah, because most of the world... is at markets and stalls and flea markets.

Yeah, exactly. Obviously, most counterfeiting is the high 50s and 100s in Europe. By the way, there's one other thing about European money, which I suggested to them, which is European money is different sizes. So the 20 and the 50 and the 100. For blind people. Is that the idea? Exactly. Although note that we have blind people in the United States too.

Oh, sure. And so in America, we have to at least look at the bill for 200 milliseconds longer to figure out what am I holding because the size doesn't tell you the answer to that. So I think they should make them all the same size so that you at least look at it a little bit longer. They said, we love the idea, but we'd have to retool all the vending machines in Europe.

Exactly right. And Darren did that experiment. But this was actually an experiment done at Harvard originally with some colleagues of mine who did this. They were very interested in this concept of change blindness, which is... How much do we notice changes in the world? Now, the fact is that the world tends to be stable. So I'm talking to you now, Jordan.
