Where to even start with confirmation bias? It surrounds us—colors our very perception of the world.
If we’re not paying attention, our mind will seek out information that confirms our thinking.
There is something of self-preservation in this—isn’t it cognitively easier not to change your mind about something? it’s not the high road, sure—but it’s a damn sight easier to travel.
But you can see how that might get you in trouble, too?
