The quote that interested me the most by Mcloud was "The fact that our mind is capable of taking a circle, two dots and a line and turning them into a face is nothing short but of incredible" (4). The reason I like this quote is because he is exactly right. Our minds are programed from such a young age to recognize things like that. For example I can go around my house and probably find 20 things that reminds me of a face within two minutes. Like right now im sitting looking around and see a clock and it reminds me of a face. What he says is very true and goes along with a lot of other things. For example when I see the country Italy on a map it reminds me of a boot. From such little details we see in things, we are able to turn those example of things and imply them to other things that remind us of it.
An example of a logical fallacy is saying that you have a pet frog that has four legs. Then saying that your dog also has four legs which makes him a frog too. This is false because just that they have that in common dont make them the same animal.
If ever there was an idea custom-made for jay Leno monologue, this was it.In order to be good at a job you have to be consistent.What ever happened to just being lazy and getting the job done. I happen to sympathize with lazy people, though perhaps because i was once lazy and good at my job but wasn't consistent at it.
