Have you ever been absolutely certain you knew what someone was thinking, only to discover you were completely wrong? Maybe you assumed your partner was upset about something you did, when they were actually worried about work. Or perhaps you were convinced a colleague disliked you, only to learn they deeply respected you. These moments reveal an uncomfortable truth: the very ability that makes us human-our capacity to understand other minds-is far less reliable than we believe. We navigate the world with unshakable confidence in our mind-reading skills, yet the evidence suggests we're operating with a broken compass. This gap between confidence and accuracy shapes everything from our closest relationships to global conflicts, and understanding it might be the most important step toward genuine human connection.
