Do you mean the same search done by 2 (or 4) different people and then showing the 2 (or 4) different search results giving each person a particular mix of serotonin/adrenaline?

@micheleminno Yes. I think simplistically about a side-by-side or a 4-boxer, but I think you talented infographic folks likely have better ideas about how to make the meaning instantly obvious 🙂 I’m looking for the impact that shows how 2 people who get different things reinforced through the adrenaline/seratonin feed may end up farther apart (more entrenched?) than they started.

@Bozon, @kkw could you provide some good resources about that, to add some evidence to the infographic?

What do you think of a drawing of something similar to the 8-armed goddess surrounded big all these things people can do?

(i.e.: [https://embroidery-embrostitch.netdna-ssl.com/images/eight-armed-goddess\_embroidery\_design-1.jpg](https://embroidery-embrostitch.netdna-ssl.com/images/eight-armed-goddess_embroidery_design-1.jpg))

The image of a god/goddess could be an abstract idea to show an inspiring objective for humans, but could also be something spiritual-oriented in the style of the drawing…
