Other People Always Look Stupid
In the book Thinking, Fast and Slow, Daniel Kahneman states that we instantly recognize other people’s stupidity, slips and mistakes, but not our own.
When we see other people we instantly judge their actions as silly or sound, but when we make a mistake ourselves, we have long justifications ready, adding context to our stupid actions that would not be known to anyone.

What You See Often Isn’t Reality
Instantly, at face value, it is hard to differentiate between recklessness and boldness, ambitions and greed, a genius and an idiot.

Not Everything Is Visible
It should not be a surprise that most people do not agree with each other.
- We often judge others due to lack of context, or lack of information about what is really happening.
- Things begin to make sense given enough information.
- Everyone has had a different kind of life experience with money, relationships, job and family.
- Most of that isn’t visible to anyone judging the other person.
