Also, I suspect... good to acknowledge that we're all prey to that mental shortcoming.
Like, sometimes there's the urge to completely banish subjective / cloudy thinking from our logic processes, I suppose, but at the same time... doesn't that also kind of limit our understanding of 'opposites?' I.e., people who function so viscerally in terms of outrage, buttons pushed... and of course, the deep, dark, fundamental fear of the unknown..?
My theory is that it's highly important to understand how other folks think, if that makes sense.
