RE: On Confirmation Bias and How to Avoid It

in #life6 years ago

That's a very thought provoking concept sir!
But unfortunately, we all have confirmation bias. Even if we believe we are very open-minded and only observe the facts before coming to conclusions, it's very likely that some bias will shape our opinion in the end. It's a natural tendency for us.

Yet, I think if one reads this article and tries to understand and accept the fact that it does exist, one can then definitely help himself in seeing things from another perspective.

Thank you for such an informative post :)

I encourage people to challenge themselves to catch each of their thoughts and try thinking about it at least two ways. I think this helps to at least break it apart.
