Together We're a Genius

Imagine you are on the eighteenth floor of a high-rise building, looking out a window facing east. If you only look out through that one window and describe what you see, you know that the view will be different from the other directions, from other windows that provide another frame of reference. In the physical world it's easy enough to walk over to another window and get another view. In the cognitive world, the most effective way to get those other views is through other people. Imagine that in the high-rise building there are other people with you, each standing at a different window, on a different floor. You see busy city streets and many other high-rise buildings. From another direction, someone says that they see a river and a large park. Down on the third floor someone tells you they see a small dog in the park. Would you tell them that this is impossible because you don't see it from your window? Hardly; you know the physical views and level of observable detail can be different from the different floors and directions. Yet, when we have conversations with people who have different world views, we often reject their ideas because that's not how we see those issues through our frame of reference.
