The Yanny vs. Laurel debate has taken the internet by storm. What did you hear when you heard the robot audio clip?

For others, the word was definitely "Yanny." How, they wondered, could anyone hear anything else?

The offshoot of all this is simple (and scary): Two sincere people can hear (or see) two different things at one and the same time, even though they're hearing (or seeing) the very same thing.

"How so?" you might ask?

Well, we're having a conversation about this issue, and everyone understands what we're talking about. In other words, if you followed the Yanny vs. Laurel controversy the last few days, you know what's dividing us.

That's how we know there's a national controversy. We've been communicating about it with each other. And our communication has been simple and clear.
