Seven people. Seven cups of tea. A lump of sugar in each cup. Four out of those seven people stir the tea counter-clockwise. The other three move the spoons clockwise. He asks them to repeat the movements holding the spoons with the opposite hands. Lo and behold four such people stir the tea clockwise and three counter-clockwise. The seven of them, though, now find the former direction of their stirring distinctly unnatural. This leads him to conclude that natural is much too overrated a concept.

ReplyDeleteYou've had me sitting at my desk, stirring imaginary spoons in imaginary tea cups.
Clockwise? Counter-clockwise? Left-handed? Right-handed? :)
