Familiar

Sounds familiar! That sounds like this. Great job me.

Hym "Well, that sounds familiar. Who came up with that? Oh, I donno. Probably some kind of genius. Sounds brilliant to me. Like an amalgam of history's greatest minds."

Familiar

With everything changing the way it is these days, and everyone trying to change what hasn't changed, the familiar and refusing to change is revolutionary.

The familiar is what people miss if it does change. It's easier to do what everybody else does and try to change, to change yourself, or to try and change the world around you, than it is to stand against the people trying to change it all because they see dollar signs in doing so.

familiarity filter

The "familiarity filter" refers to the phenomenon where children are more inclined to listen to strangers rather than their own parents, often due to filtering out familiar things that have always been there.

It's interesting how the familiarity filter works; my child pays more attention to advice from a teacher than from me, just because it feels new and different.
