The Uncanny Valley and Anthropomorphism...
Have you ever heard the terms Uncanny Valley, or Anthropomorphism...yes, great. No, we that's great to...cause your in for a treat. In order to understand what these terms mean, well, your just gonna have to listen...your mind will be totally blown open...or swirled into a liquid gelatin mass, that is probably more likely...
Have you ever been walking down the street, or in a store, and see someone, or something that just doesn't look right, maybe it was out of the corner of your eye, or a flicker...how do we perceive the human form, we know what humans look like...or do we.
Aliens, costumes, figurines, anomalies, things that just don't look or feel right...all the way to people gathering in social circles wearing animal costumes...you do you...
We have a journey for you today, so come on in...we won't bite...maybe! Bring some misguided understanding of what you think is real, and take a sip of "Oh, this is hurting my brain." You will be fine, it's only a podcast.
