Haiku, Hypnosis and Discovery
summary
Shows how a two-line combo haiku exercise (short phrase + split long phrase) reliably creates a vivid haiku moment where the mind fills missing context; runs a mindfulness and light hypnotherapy induction on a volunteer with measurable signs (eyelid/finger flicker) and reported scenes (conference, classroom, home); argues developers are skilled at leaping to models while testers break them; introduces real options with the engraved six-trophy example (paying ~$500 to keep choices) and debunks the Viking “face” to illustrate apophenia.
