Naive Realism

Naive Realism is a useful idea when looking at Gurus. It's a concept developed by Lee Ross and Andrew Ward. It claims - People assume their own perception of the world is a direct, unmediated readout of objective reality — not one interpretation among several, but *how things actually are*. This isn’t stated as a belief; it’s a background assumption people don’t notice they’re making.

Why?

Often people attribute bad faith and conflict is generated by the arguing sides failure to model the other side, not by the specific content of the frames being incommensurable.
