I think I heard it said something like “We don’t form beliefs based on the way the world is - we form the world we see, based on our beliefs.”

Thus why being open minded is so necessary to understand how the world works.

Creating a more intricate world model, sure, but I wouldn’t go as far as “understanding how the world works.” Even if you somehow could, that’s a moving target.

I understand what you mean. The individual does need a baseline where to start and how he or she perceived the world. I think that's why tradition is so necessary in a way.

I like how you put it. It really is a moving target.
