Initial reaction: “Ah, scary.” Their move from frames to unfiltered, direct observations feels scary. Like I’m going to lose something important. I rely on frames a lot to organize and remember stuff, because memory is hard and I forget so many important data points. I can chunk lots of individual stuff under a frame.
Coming back after finishing the series, I notice the “scary!” reaction is gone. Based on some of Logan’s comments on the FB thread, I think I updated toward 1. worry less about having to explicitly remember every detail → instead just learn to pay attention and let those observations filter into your consciousness, and 2. it’s still fine to use/learn from frames, just make sure you also have direct observations to let you know if your frames/assumptions are off.
Probably worth noticing that my mind spent the last half of the post trying to skip ahead. Like, there’s a storyteller setting the scene and my brain wants to skip over “Once upon a time…” ….but I’m guessing that skipping over something because it seems familiar is antithetical to the whole point of this series.
I get the problem about misleading frames and not noticing you’re skipping over counter evidence—I’m always worried/annoyed/frustrated about how little confidence I have in any claim because I can think of nuances. But ah, that’s why I like frames! I want cached answers, damn it.
I wrote reactions on FB while reading, coping them here and on the other posts afterwards.
