Cognitive biases, blind spots, a sticky point and a "remedy"
We are all born seeing ourselves as the center of the world. We don"t know we are the center of our world... we just don"t know there is any other vantage point to look from.
Most of us never learn it.
Like one of my students: every time I recommend anything, she answers: "I agree..."
She hasn"t crossed that threshold, that divide between infant and even toddler... absolutely and completely ignorant to the fact that using the personal vantage point is ineffective, because it is delusional.
This is also true if and when you can see that other people see things differently from how you see them, but your view is accurate and theirs is inaccurate.
Same delusional, baby-view of the world.
