The Problem with Current Model

If you adopt this model, you will perceive the world as a place of cues surrounding you, and you will focus too much on yourself. But the world is fundamentally not a place of cues surrounding you, which you can just optimize and rearrange to your liking. Rather it’s a place of relationship.

So we have to take a much wider view of the world, one where relationship is central.
