Mental models can't disconfirm themselves, by definition.
- Mental models can't disconfirm themselves, by definition.
- In idea space everything works exactly as you expect.
- Because it's not real, it's your simulation of reality.
- You don't actually want disconfirming evidence so you don't get it.
- Disconfirming evidence must come from outside your mental model, [nf]because by definition everything in your mental model is confirming of the mental model.
- If it were disconfirming it wouldn't be in the model, it would be a different model!
- The real world doesn't care about your idea so it ruthlessly generates disconfirming evidence.
- Staying in idea space feels good because you feel like you're solving problems but in reality you're just generating more confirming evidence.
