"Well now I'm going to show you that you're all synesthetes but you're in denial about it. So what I want you to do is I want you all to imagine two shapes in front of you. I wish I had a slide but of course this is radio. One of them imagine is a shattered piece of glass with jagged edges, the other is like an amoeba, it's got undulating curvy shapes. And one of them I'm going to call a bouba, and the other is kiki - which is which? Now the amazing thing is 98% of people will pick the shattered piece of glass with the jagged edges, and say oh that's a kiki, and the undulating amoeboid shape, oh that's a bouba, even though they have never seen the shape before."
