perception
You think you see the world exactly as it is.
Naïve realism is the conviction that your subjective perceptions are objective, factual accounts of reality.
You assume that anyone who sees things differently is either uninformed, irrational, or biased. Because your experience of reality feels so direct, it is difficult to consider that others are experiencing a different version of the same world. This creates deep conflict in disagreements.
You are always viewing the world through a screen you cannot see.
