The most terrifying thing as a modern person is dealing with the real possibility that you might be close to a gorilla, yet cannot see them because they have learned to camouflage themselves in plain sight, using people's selective attention, as is showcased in this video.
That is why I systematically refuse invitations to watch sports games. Who knows if a gorilla were to sneak in the middle of the game? Who would know? And even worse, who would be able to do anything?
I also propose that the saying "elephant in the room" to be replaced by "gorilla in the basketball game" to reflect the new horrors that we have to deal with.
