When we fence a point , we often say things like , “ I could be wrong . ” We say that , but do we really mean it ? Many people get something called “ naif realism , ” and anyone who argues about musical genre shows experiences it often .
It ’s not unusual to come across naive realism in regular life . The word “ naive realism ” were coined by a group of psychologist studying how the great unwashed perceive situations . The tenets are dim-witted . We are unbiassed observers , who see events and interpret them without any kind of bias or filter . Any other rational person , bet at the same events , would interpret them the way we do . If anyone does n’t interpret them the same way , they are colored , stupid , lazy , or somehow cut down off from fancy the material situation .
The scientists quiz this by asking Volunteer to take part in a game – the erstwhile Prisoner ’s Dilemma . If two mass , sequestrate from each other , agree to join forces , they both get a belittled reward . If one cooperates and the other does n’t , the one who does n’t produce the reward , and the one who get together gets nothing . If both of them refuse to cooperate , they both get nothing . The scientists acquire college students to enter – but only sure students . The students were selected , by their dormitory leaders , to either be the most potential cooperators or the most potential non - cooperators . The scientist described the secret plan to the students , but some students heard it was called the “ Wall Street Game , ” while others heard it was call the “ Community Game . ” The Community people were twice as probable to cooperate with each other as the Wall Street multitude were . There were no differences between the play of the people label cooperators and those labelled the non - partner . The dorm leadership certainly could have been wrong about the character of the people , but the biggest factor was in what the participants call back the plot was “ about . ” If multitude thought the biz was a conjunctive secret plan , they tend to cooperate . If it was a competitive game , they competed , and did n’t see why anyone would do any differently . Two unlike chemical group of people had entirely separate perspective of the same game .
We see this in government a plenty . People will look at the same situation and differ utterly , and sincerely , as to what stimulate it and what the good course of legal action to solve it is . The same office will seem to be “ about ” dissimilar matter . But political sympathies is rancorous and complicated . What strikes me is how often I see this exact mindset when it comes to genre fans . In this case , everyone is being presented with the same selective information , and see it altogether unlike ways . One person ’s fell conjuration is another someone ’s playful sign of love . On mortal ’s meaning look is another person ’s distrait glance . One person ’s scoundrel is another person ’s hero sandwich . When have you come across this in fandom ?
