“Your assumptions are your windows on the world. Scrub them off every once in a while, or the light won't come in.”
― Isaac Asimov!

This week’s language pattern is when opinions are expressed as if they are a fact. 

Referred to in the Meta Model as a ‘Lost Performative’ i.e. what is lost is whose opinion is being expressed. 

We are surrounded by other people….and ourselves of course, expressing an opinion without owning it or acknowledging even, that it is ONLY an opinion ! How much more authentic and persuasive could we be if we did ?
