What is even an "accurate model of the world" in this context? Isn't it all just perception and impression and interpretation?

For example, a depressed person might think: "this company is shit and will go under in 6 months because my coworkers and management are so incompetent and malicious"

Let's say their prediction was true. Good job!

What if the depressed person missed that there were a couple of people at the office who actually were not incompetent and malicious, maybe people they would enjoy to get to know. What if there were opportunities to learn interesting things while the company crashed and burned.

To determine what worldview is most realistic you have to weigh what aspects of reality are most significant.
