The problem with the above thought is that you've got some baseline, implicit assumptions and beliefs about how the world works, many of which you're likely not aware of. Everyone does; that's just part of the state of being human. That framework -- your acculturation, socialization, individual experience, your own brain chemistry -- informs everything you write.

I've talked about some major personal revelations and life changes I've gone through over the years, and they tended to make me pretty starkly aware of many of the above that formed my own mental landscape. Further, as an economist, I have a professional obligation to identify unstated assumptions as they pertain to various questions; economics, being a social science that tends to look at large groups of people, means that those sorts of things tend to be rather large.
