> People think things that range from typical to highly atypical. The more typical your thought patterns, the higher the probability that others can infer your thinking. This leads to more successful social interactions because people will infer your thinking incorrectly less often.

I do think this is true, but as I've gotten older I have come to the conclusion that the two most typical people in the world would still fail to infer each other's thinking because typical thinking misattributes motivation in others to an almost absurd degree.
