I think a lot of people in the world in general actually live much more in a mindset where concrete physical thinking is real than it might seem! The problem as I see it is, people’s causal calibration level varies, and people’s impression of their own ability to have their own beliefs about a topic without it embarrassing them varies. The “social reality” case is what you get when someone focuses most or all of their attention on interacting with people and don’t have anything hard in their lives, so they simply don’t need to be calibrated about physics and must rely on others’ skill in such topics.
But I don’t think nearly any neuroplastic human is going to be so unfamiliar with [edit: hit submit while trying to put my cursor back! continuing writing...]
… unfamiliar with causal reality that they can’t comprehend the necessity of basic tasks. They might feel comfortable and safe and therefore simply not think about the details of the physics that implements their lives, but it’s not a case of there being a social reality that’s a separate layer of existence. It’s more like the social behavior is what you get when people don’t have the emotional safety and spare time and thinking to explore learning about the physics of their lives.
does that seem accurate to y’all? what do you think?
