AP
The five distortions are:
1. Personal exceptionalism
2. Dichotomous thinking
3. Correct overgeneralization
4. Blank canvas thinking
5. Schumpeterianism
Personal Exceptionalism
… a macro sense that you are in the top of your cohort, your work is snowflake-special, or that you are destined to have experiences well outside the bounds of "normal;" not to be confused with arrogance or high self-esteem
Dichotomous Thinking
being extremely judgmental of people, experiences, things; highly opinionated at the extremes; sees black and white, little grey …
Correct Overgeneralization
making universal judgments from limited observations and being right a lot of the time
Blank-Canvas Thinking
sees own life as a blank canvas, not a paint-by-numbers

This process of Creative Destruction is the essential fact about capitalism. It is what capitalism consists in and what every capitalist concern has got to live in. …"
Dearing defines Schumpeterianism as:
sees creative destruction as natural, necessary, and as their vocation
