DEY TUK AR JETS!

Strangely enough, the missing jet engine seemed pretty obvious to me. About as obvious as Beck's discomfort at having to keep silent while the audio and video clips play.

2 out of the 10 people in his house got it and the rest are idiots. I was having a hard time NOT seeing the change. I was literally trying to NOT see the difference, but it was IMPOSSIBLE.

The one semblance of sense he makes here....is the whole attitude towards signing massive bills in the senate...is fucked up.

But he fails to realise, that if senators took the time to read through these massive bills, and understand them, before voting on them...NOTHING would get done...EVER!

There are people that vet the bills before they get submitted, the senators really are not in the position to say yay or nay, its the guys that filtered it up to them whose job that is.

Still, thats not cool....it just means representation is tossed out the window because theres simply not enough manpower in the represented officials to handle all the law oversight that's required in modern days.

That, however, is not what this piece is intended to do. He is proclaiming that his insanity, that noone else sees, has solid merit...just because of some trippy psychological phenomenon. Sorry beck, but you are just batshit insane.

I wonder if anyone will notice when blankfist retitles this to "Proof that Obama is Deceiving You All With Poison Candy".

This visual phenomenon is not that a lot of changes at once will mask another change. On the contrary, our brains will efficiently pick many visual changes up.

What the study showed was that the visual mechanism which allows us to do easily detect those changes can be "broken" by a disruption in the image. If you put two images back-to-back we easily detect the differences. Put just a short flash of grey between the two images and we have huge difficulty in finding the changes (any disruption that prevents the images being back-to-back work, like looking away for a moment). The mechanism that usually makes it so easy for us doesn't work and so we have to fall back on searching every object in the image manually.

So the analogy doesn't really hold up. He's saying a lot of changes mask another change. What the visual phenomenon is saying is that we can detect (visual) changes easily but by a special mechanism - a mechanism that completely breaks with a certain type of disruption.

I kept waiting for Beck to say something... anything!

That moment never came.

What an oaf.

Ed. an oaf who apparently spikes his guest's sangria.

That's awesome that Glenn feels the need to make an apologetic joke to explain why he was browsing psychological research sites. He seems to associate psychological research predominately with psychotherapy (going to a shrink), rather than with new studies on how the mind and brain work.

Lord Obama's ongoing malfeasance is the giant jet engine in the room.

Who are all these fools that can't get rid of freedom fast enough so the government can "run" everything?
