Assumptions are a necessary part of life. You assume your office chair is going to support your weight. We assume the letter we mailed will get where we sent it (eventually). We assume people will do the things they said they will do.
But some assumptions are lazy and unhelpful or even hurtful. I asked Karen Loomis, Christopher Hakim and Mohan Ananda how they notice and address assumptions we might not even realize we are making.
How do you realize you are making an assumption and does noticing it change anything?
