Meaning, in this context, your interpretations are also a form of data, but instead of them being data about the situation or context, the interpretations are data about YOU! Observation is the attempt to ensure that you focus on [[Identifying Reality]] This matters because in [[I saw I think I wonder]] and [[🐓 Idea Farm/Deadfall/For myself only/Readwise/Books/Nonviolent Communication]], you have to keep your observations clean and stay out of how [[We see the world in stories]] and will unintentionally [[climb the ladder of inference]]. ### What would the opposite argument be? [[cognitive reframing]] from it's a problem that we create stories, to the stories are the value of the human interpretation. If we can discuss the stories in a psychologically safe place, then we can inspect them together and decide what is real in them. ## Sources: [[🐓 Idea Farm/Deadfall/For myself only/Readwise/Books/Nonviolent Communication]] [[atomic notes]] [[I saw I think I wonder]]
