perception
You believe you see the world objectively as it is.
Naive realism is the tendency to assume our perception of reality is the only accurate one.
We assume that if others see things differently, they must be misinformed or biased. This blind spot makes it difficult to recognize that our own perspectives are also filtered through experience.
Disagreement often stems not from different facts, but from different defaults.
