7 in 1000 people have schizophrenia.
And if you are not fooled by this optical illusion - you are one of them.

I don't understand? What am I supposed to think when I see that mask thing?

What if you get both, depending which way you're looking at it?

I tried to fight it but couldn't see the hollow flip side.

So what means what? Not sure what I was supposed to see there...
Okay, I went back and watched it a couple more times. The first few times I just saw a mask, hollow inside. I really focused on what the guy was saying the last view and on the final rotation it finally clicked and I was able to see a second face with the inside of the mask.
I'm pretty bad at facial recognition regardless so that probably skews things though.

You're looking at the inside of a mask. If you're not schizophrenic it seems as if you're looking at the outside
@kosko: I can get all the features hollow, but only one side of the actual face at a time
Guess I'm not a schizo then! There's no way that's the inside of a mask?? Surely? How bizarre.

The inside of the empty mask from the video should appear like another convex face of Charlie Chaplin.
After the original side has rotated out view, the reverse concave side suddenly appears to be a normal face and not hollow, until the moment that it's replaced again as it continues to turn.

People whom are "skitz" lack the ability to emotionally connect and have next or little empathy for others. It can be broken down into two sides where one views themselves as another person, and at greater value then they really are. The others isolate themselves in a way since they have trouble trusting others and live life extremely through a narrow and selfish lens.
You can be a tycoon in Wall street or a bum on the street and have the condition. It can breed great success or destruction in people but both extremes share the similar traits noted above.
Also many may have the gene set but I am in the camp that environmental or specific triggers have to be set to let things take off. Many drug addicts end up releasing the gene set from heavy drug use rich burns trough to protective pars of the brain. Also, big time emotional events/trauma can set it off as can extreme stress. A ton of people are walking around with this gene set but may never come to approach that outside trigger that sets them off their tree.

A really good friend of mine since childhood ended up being schizophrenic and the biggest change I see in him is his utter lack of motivation to do anything now, and his completely delusional perspective on reality. It's actually frightening what people can believe when they lose a grip on reality. That car behind us, they're following us. That helicopter, it's following me.
Watch the movie the Truman Show. If there was no such thing as the Truman Show and Truman really was just freaking out for no reason, that's what a schizophrenic tends to look like. Always keep a sound control on your mind, more than any other type of deterioration you can face, when you lose control of your mind you're completely screwed.
