Framing

Framing isn't something the world does to you.

It's what you do to the world, which completely changes according to your shifts of perspective.

Framing is contagious. We adopt the perspective of those we pay attention to. Conformity is most obvious in our appearance and behavior, but it stems from adopting a prevalent framing.

Framing is entirely volitional, though we forget our freedom. We have eternally owned our own perspective, which is not driven by circumstance (you've seen countless happy poor people and miserable rich people). We can effortlessly opt in or out of a given framing. It's entirely up to us.

Framing is like a smart phone feature you forgot about.

Framing underpins and explains absolutely everything.
