topic: [[Thinking]] created: 2023-02-24 *Why each of us thinks that if everyone just knew what we knew, they would see the world the way we do.* This reminds me of [[cognitive frames]] that we bring to other people's thoughts and actions. Unfortunately, we typically seek to understand people as rational. Each person's experience is limited to a tiny set of circumstances, which limits their creativity for the world. This [[Bounded Rationality]] means that it is harder for us to imagine the experiences and things that have created the responses we see in others. Naive realism is a person’s “unshakable conviction that he or she is somehow privy to an invariant, knowable, objective reality—a reality that others will also perceive faithfully, provided that they are reasonable and rational.” (Wikipedia) Recognizing that everyone else has different circumstances and experiences to us, which means they draw other reasonable conclusions. No one is perfectly rational, so don't try to see them that way. People are reasonable, however, within their experience. [[Don't try to be rational, try to be reasonable]]. tags: #note/idea | #on/bias ##### Sources: Edmondson, A. C.

Jossey-Bass. “We are all prone to naïve realism, a term coined by psychologist Lee Ross, which is a person’s “unshakable conviction that he or she is somehow privy to an invariant, knowable, objective reality—a reality that others will also perceive faithfully, provided that they are reasonable and rational.”13 So, when others misperceive our “reality,” we conclude that it must be because they are unreasonable or irrational and “view the world through a prism of self-interest, ideological bias, or personal perversity.”14 And therein lies the trouble.” Excerpt From Teaming Amy C.
