Cognitive scientist John Vervaeke argues that ‘breaking-frame’ is essential for overcoming the kind of cognitive biases that keep us trapped in false certainties and polarised political positions. As he points out, a core aspect of being human is that the very thing that makes us intelligent - our ability to determine what’s relevant from everything calling for our attention - also makes us prone to self deception. Practices like meditation and inquiry can help us decrease this self-deception helping us take a step back from what we think we know - ‘looking to’ our frame instead of ‘looking through it’. By doing this we can break our old certainties and choose new perspectives more in tune with reality.
