Good observation, Claire, and IMHO even acknowledging our conditioning from jobs take a good amount of reflection. It makes me wonder if reality is subjective and if we all see the world in our own way (as conditioned by work and surrounding). Looking forward to your other sabbatical experiments, it’s inspiring how skillfully you’re making use of time post leaving your corporate identity :)

I have taken a tour through alternative dispute resolution (specifically mediation). 💯 believe we all see the world in our own ways. Everyone makes sense to themselves. That's probably the biggest thing I've learned in the past few years since I left the corporate world. I will write about this at some point.

That's not to say there aren't some observable truths that can be measured and tested through science. The meaning or weight we attach to them is more subjective. Humans are fascinating and frustrating.
