How Memory Traps You in a Mental Model
Jan 04, 2021
In this episode, Rob shares how much modeling plays a part in our construction of the world.
We're modeling all the time, and almost all modeling is happening unconsciously. Models are a 3 dimensional way to show how thoughts impact our reality.
Models come from "frozen" thoughts. It's important to understand how this process can impact us.
We're deeply putting meaning on everything. Modeling is a way to recognize this. Even "self" is a model.
I hope you enjoy this crucial conversation. It will help you better understand memory, models, and meaning making.
