Here is an interesting question.
Supposed the Martians exist, and they have their own alphabets, two of which are shown below.
If I tell you these two alphabets are pronounced as “Buba” and “Kiki”, can you tell me which one is Buba and which one is Kiki? You are not a Martian, and Martians don’t exist anyway; yet somehow, you seems to instinctively know the answer. How would you know?
To find out why, see this profound video, from TED.
