I'll try HiLo. I acknowledge a tendency to run-on sentences and to be an absolute failure at either the pithy, to the point comment, or to be able to keep things simple.

Each of us experiences and interprets our internal and external world through a number of filters. Those filters are very complex and are built from our our personal experiences, our individual biology, the ways our early experiences shape the neural pathways of our brains, social learning, cultural shaping, etc. etc. etc. Those filters shape the paradigm(s) through which we experience our lives, our environment, and how we interpret all of the sensory input we experience. Each and every one of us operate in the world within the context of one or more paradigms. (I speculate that is true of most, if not all sentient life, human or otherwise.)

Paradigms are necessary filters - we would be so overloaded with 'data imput' otherwise that we would be rendered non-functional. Even so, every paradigm distorts. Some paradigms are more porous than others and distort somewhat less, but all paradigms distort. Most of us humans operate from more than one paradigm, and those different paradigms within each of us result in internal processes and interactions that lead to some interesting 'stuff.'    Paradigms filter in and filter out information, sensory experience, information, individual and collective cultural experiences and learning, etc. They impact each of us in every single way we experience ourselves and others, how we interact with other individuals, neighbors, community, our own society and the world of ideas. Our paradigms may shape our personality traits - which also implies that some paradigms are genetically predisposed to be more closed or open - or our personality traits may strongly shape one or more of our paradigms, but that is a tangent and an on-going exploration along the same lines of "which came first, the chicken or the egg." Within the same individual some paradigms may have more open boundaries and some paradigms may be very rigid, and what a remarkably complicated and sometimes indecipherable. Just to spice up the mix a bit, there is an infinite amount of variation in how individuals are wired to be emotionally reactive or sensitive, to be in touch with or cut off from emotions, or to simply either experience emotions more intensely or less intensely.

That each of us operates from paradigms is a given and well documented by both social science and neuroscience research. Whether any particular individual accepts that and is open to attempting to explore their own paradigms, and at a minimum, question themselves, much less be open to the possibility that their paradigm in either any particular or general situation is not a given at all.
