WYSIATI What You See Is All There Is from "summary" of Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman
The mind that we see in ourselves is not all there is. We are blind to flaws in our reasoning. WYSIATI - what you see is all there is. The easiest way to acquire information is to consult your memory. You don't know what you're not seeing. WYSIATI creates a coherent pattern. We can't think of what we can't see. We build the best possible story from the information available. We are blind to our blindness. You can see only what you look at. WYSIATI makes us think that we understand more than we do. We can never achieve a complete description of reality. Reality is different from what you see. You are blind to the obvious, and the obvious is not always the truth. We are blind to our blindness. The world in our heads is not a precise replica of reality. We're blind to our blindness. We're blind to our blindness. We're blind to our blindness.
