Get the parable year mug.The inability to see outside the conceptual box you’re already in. It’s the belief that your current model of understanding—your paradigm—is the only possible or correct way to view the world. Any information that doesn't fit is either ignored, forced to fit, or ridiculed. It's not just about having a point of view; it's about being so trapped within it that you can't even conceive of a valid alternative.
Example: "For decades, Paradigm Bias made musicians think the only way to record an album was in a million-dollar studio, until someone proved you could do it on a laptop."

In short:

Personal note:
Coined as a universal term to clearly separate anime (Japanese animation) from anime-inspired works made in other countries. “Paranime” comes from para- (parallel) + anime, meaning it runs alongside anime without being the same.
