Q
Confirmation Bias
From Book “Think” by Guy P. Harrison Anthropoligist
If a person has confirmation Bias, how hard is it to reach their thinkng?
P 66 states: If a skeptic like me explains how psychic readings really only seem to work and why it does not make sense to believe in them, the believer’s brain is likely to instinctively go into seige mode. The drawbridge is raised, crocodiles are released into the moat and defenders man the walls.
A
Little or nothing the skeptic says actually gets in. Anything that does get in is likely to be forgotten forever. The believer usually does not recognize how biased and close minded he is beiing. He feels that he is completely rational and fair.
