The mind projection fallacy is a logical fallacy first described by physicist and Bayesian philosopher E.T. Jaynes. It occurs when someone thinks that the way they see the world reflects the way the world really is, going as far as assuming the real existence of imagined objects. That is, someone's subjective judgments are "projected" to be inherent properties of an object, rather than being related to personal perception. One consequence is that others may be assumed to share the same perception, or that they are irrational or misinformed if they do not. For example, someone might informally claim that broccoli ''tastes bad'', even though "taste" depends on one's taste buds and prior experience. Alternatively, we might conclude that intelligent aliens will value the same things we do or be driven by similar motivations, even though their minds may not be constructed in the same way. A second form of the fallacy, as described by Jaynes,〔 is when someone assumes that their own lack of knowledge about a phenomenon (which is a fact about their state of mind) means that the phenomenon is not or cannot be understood (a fact about reality). (See also Map and territory.) Jaynes used this concept to argue against Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics. He described the fallacy as follows:〔 ==See also== * Psychologist's fallacy 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mind projection fallacy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
