The Fridge Stare
Opening the fridge isn't confusion about what's inside. It's a stall — the brain avoiding a decision.
You open the fridge. You look at what's there — the same things that were there this morning. You close the fridge, open a cupboard, close that too, and go back to the fridge as if something might have changed. This is not confusion about what's inside. It's a stall — the brain avoiding a decision.
