Changing your frame of looking at the world is like changing clothing.

The problem is that not all frames are created equal. Some are actually useful for discovering the truth and/or improving the world, others are mostly only useful for signalling.

And some clothes are actually useful for keeping you warm and dry and comfortable while others are mostly only useful for signalling, so what's your point? ;-)

Some fashionable frames are the equivalent of tight-lacing and foot binding.
