It is real interesting concept especially here(nostr) when all the interactions have a good measure of the imaginary, but I suppose that is the point of the note that we are always projecting on to others and ourselves no matter the person or circumstance.
i dont know that its fully escapable. i think we do it as a reflex.
but i still like questioning it when i notice im doing it
Ya, it is probably some evolutionary survival mechanism to keep us from getting are head chopped off. But other than that it is all downside.
It’s called prejudice (or pre judge) and is the correct use of the word, we’ve been using the word incorrectly to mean bias.
then again, there is the vibe phenomenon which very rarely turns out to be incorrect. 🤷
Conundrums! 😂
and then the individual that we boxed into neat categories comes through and bashes all our projections and in that we find delight or disappointment or the worst of all we were right and they're boring
