Here's what it boils down to: We operating with different frames.
Frames = the *way* we think, *how* we make sense of the world, the filters through which one interprets reality.

These lenses/frames/filters are *culturally shaped* and *socially constructed* always. You can't avoid or escape that, it just is what happens to humans.

2- We think our frames are self-evident & confuse them with 'plain reality'
