Welcome to Zoom-Out
Zoom-Out (hyphenated) is all about perspectives.
How we view the world, others, and ourselves.
Zoom-Out is also concerned with meta-perspectives; our perspectives on our perspectives.
We can hold a narrow or close-up perspective, or we can hold a broader or stepped-back perspective.
And in each case, this can be helpful or unhelpful to ourselves and others:

zoomed-in
helpfully

zoomed-in
unhelpfully

zoomed-out
helpfully

zoomed-out
unhelpfully
The aim of Zoom-Out is to spend as much time as possible in the helpful states.
An observation is that due to our negativity bias and other mental wiring, we have a tendency at times to get zoomed in unhelpfully. Thus by cultivating our zoom-out skills we are better placed to find the optimal zoomed state. We do this by seeing the bigger picture, broader context, and alternative perspectives.
At times we can hold a narrow or limited perspective that is unhelpful to ourselves and others
