Feelings Are Real, Stories Are Hypotheses
In our daily interactions—whether at work, in friendships, or at home—we often sense when something is “off” before we can clearly articulate what that something is. This fuzzy feeling of discomfort or unease is a powerful signal, yet many of us hesitate to name it because we don’t fully understand the problem. What if, instead of waiting for full clarity, we embraced the art of framing our intuitions early on?
Framing is about how we present and shape our perceptions and experiences. When it comes to interpersonal dynamics and conflict, the right frame can transform vague feelings into productive conversations. Here’s how to harness framing to name the unseen before you understand it fully—and why it matters more than you might think.

You can tell a lot about a person by what frame they choose to see you in.

Monkey patching frame
creatively reframe life by showing that even small, flexible changes in your mindset and actions can dynamically transform your experience without needing a total overhaul.

While visiting an art gallery in the city, this piece stood out. Despite being priced at 700 USD, its message hit me: reality as the 'master frame’, a pill that must be swallowed constantly in the time-space continuum.
in the architecture of existence, reality functions like a server. the master frame. constantly broadcasting data: events, conditions, interactions, phenomena. this server is impersonal, consistent, always online.
Think of reality like the WhatsApp/Telegram server: constantly pushing messages, media, updates. the raw, unfiltered feed of what is.
like reality’s server doesn’t ask if you’re ready. It just delivers the moment.
You, the individual, are like a client device (your phone) running the app. your subframe, your personal experience of reality. Your device receives messages from the server, but how they’re displayed, interpreted, or reacted to depends entirely on:
* ur settings (beliefs)
* ur storage (emotional baggage)
* ur battery (energy/vitality)
* ur OS (mental state)

Master Frame & Subframe
Reality = The Unpalatable Pill like a server that can't be controlled with client device.
📡 You don’t control the server (master frame). it just delivers reality.
📱 Your experience depends on how well your client (subframe) handles the incoming data.
🌬 You’re swallowing the pill of reality with every breath.
🛠 Stop trying to control the server. Optimize the client instead.
for a high-agency individual, understanding this impersonal nature of reality means they do not futilely project their desires onto the external world, such as thinking it "shouldn't rain on my birthday"
when an individual truly learns to handle reality, their actions shift from being reactive attempts to make themselves "feel better" to being constructive efforts to "help the situation".
this is the hallmark of high agency, as exemplified by figures like Gandhi, King, and Mandela who "handled it" and then acted from a place of clarity and purpose, not personal inability.
