https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamais_vu https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamais_vu The feeling that you haven't experienced something before, which should by all accounts feel familiar to you. >A study by Chris Moulin of Leeds University asked 92 volunteers to write out "door" 30 times in 60 seconds. He reported that 68 percent of volunteers showed symptoms of jamais vu, such as beginning to doubt that "door" was a real word.

  Thats an interesting poster. Is it real? Im just trying to understand what an MTA employee would do with that information. This seems very portal-y. On the jamais-vu front, I once had to write "school" a few hundred times in detention and it stopped having meaning because I began to just see it as the jumble of letters id been writing for the previous hour, perhaps as a coping mechanism, rather than doubting it was a real world. Thats interesting though.

My wife swears that I have prosopognosia because whenever she shows me a celebrity face I'm like who's that? And shes like "Brad Pitt!" I dont think I actually have it, because there's enough times where I'm at a social gathering and I know i recognize a lot of people but I may not remember their names, but it's funny nonetheless.
