We see (reality) what we see (our mindset and attention) 固有的思维模式和行为习惯塑造我们的现实 每个人都活在不同的现实之中 > That we see the world the way we do is a testament to how powerfully ideas shape what we see, and our capacity, through cultural transmission, to know things that we have not directly experienced. > When we talk about "forces" shaping society or "momentum" in markets, we're borrowing concepts from physics. If you’ve ever described having “chemistry” with another person, or the people in a charismatic politician’s “orbit”, or needing to get “leverage” in a deal, or the “friction” between two co-workers, you’re using ideas and words from Newton’s time. If you’ve ever read Stephen Pressfield’s _The War of Art_, and encountered his concept of "resistance," or Robert Greene’s _The 48 Laws of Power_ which tries to identify simple, general, universal laws of human behavior, you're seeing how deeply rationalist Enlightenment thinking has penetrated our understanding of life itself. -- https://every.to/chain-of-thought/seeing-science-like-a-language-model
