These are more like frameworks for imagining & interacting with the complexities of reality. Similar to an interactive Philosophy. Worldviews cannot be avoided & nobody holds a purely objective viewpoint...anyone who claims to hold an purely objective viewpoint is a liar or delusional.
- mistermann 3y ago> anyone who claims to hold an purely objective viewpoint is a liar or delusional. Is this purely objective? Can you think of no exceptions, under any scenarios?
- kelseyfrog 3y agoConfusing the subjective for the objective is a widely studied phenomenon. It's called reification and people generally deny doing it. There's a strong ego defense mechanism that raises when it's pointed out that shuts down conversation.
- mistermann 3y agoThe utterly bizarre things is how so many (I would say, the VAST majority) smart people are unable to overcome it when discussing certain subjects. Like sure, I can certainly understand the initial incident, heuristics are a bitch...but what is so bizarre is that when people are in this state, there seems to be literally nothing that can draw them out of it. I have done many, many thousands of experiments in this area, it is uncanny.
