I'm not sure how people can look world politics and see such radically different things. Are we all watching the same channel?

Why do we see such radically different things? See this short Edge piece on naive realism. https://www.edge.org/response-detail/27006 …pic.twitter.com/VnKnGwh7IK

Look at it this way, I think it is worth understanding that Trump supporters equally assume that they're seeing simple reality.

I'm not claiming that you're wrong. I'm saying that everyone has *feeling* that they're seeing reality for what it actually is.

Most times when I've been wrong - at the time I sincerely *felt* that I was seeing the obvious truth.

Me too but it's been a while since I saw things like that. For a long time, I've felt 'this is the best I can do now'

When I was religious, feminist, super-skeptic, I was sure I had an obvious truth. Now I'm not sure of anything.

Well, no. It does seem obvious Trump contradicts himself, is impulsive, childish & ignorant. If that's an illusion...
