If a particular problem is to be solved by a group of people and everybody is from their different frames, but a particular person’s solution gets accepted.
So why does that happen? Yeah, that’s because maybe that person has more persuasive power than others. That person can speak and influence people quite well. Or in that particular situation, that person’s solution may be the best because that person has the experience or the expertise to assess that situation properly.
And then they can understand. And others also agree that this is the best solution. So they accept that.
Or it could also be that that person is the person who has thought the most about the situation. So they say, do in Rome as Romans do. That means Romans know best how to live in Rome.
So if they are doing things in a particular way, go to Rome and do that. So somebody has already experienced a particular thing. And everybody else may defer to that person’s expertise.
So just because we have different frames doesn’t mean that there is no overlap. There is overlap. So, for example, say if there is a Rasgulla.
That Rasgulla is an objective reality. Now, how I see that Rasgulla? If I like Rasgulla, when will I get it? If instead if I am dieting, I want that Rasgulla but I can’t eat it. Or if I like someone, I have a friend.
I don’t like Rasgulla so much, but I know a friend who likes Rasgulla very much. So I am going to this time. The same Rasgulla, people in different frames will see different.
The objective is the same. Now if there is only one Rasgulla and three people want it. Now who will get it? That will depend on time, place, circumstances.
Who is able to persuade, who has the strongest desire, who has whatever. So these decisions, there are different people coming from different frames. And which person with what frame prevails in a particular situation.
That depends on what is the reality, what is the persuasive skill of a particular person. How much are other people invested in that particular thing. You take it.
So this is something which will largely be circumstantial.
