While I’d been aware of the ‘frame differences’ concept before, this post made me aware of the fact that frame differences exist. Over the last year, I’ve had several debates / disagreements which felt something like
me: here’s a totally convincing argument that (dogs are better than cats).
I think to myself: this is it. that was well-articulated. they’re about to agree with me.
them: that claim is totally true, but I’m not at all convinced, because (thing I agree with but which seems irrelevant)
And on and on. I imagine their end feels similarly.
Instead of feeling bewildered that this smart person I respect is being crazy, I realize I might just be inhabiting a different frame.
