Can You Trust Your Eyes? Are You Being Naive

Naive realism is a deceptive illusion. It tricks us into believing our view of the world is the sole, correct reality. We mistakenly assume others share this viewpoint, dismissing differing opinions as flawed. This bias hinders understanding, breeds conflict, and limits potential. Unmasking naive realism unveils the intricate dance between perception and reality. Knowledge of this illusion grants a potent tool for navigating complexity, fostering empathy, and making informed decisions. By understanding how our minds construct reality, we gain power over our perceptions and interactions.
