How Cognitive Biases Affect Our Thinking

This is something of a follow up on “They see what they want to see” posting a few days ago. It’s a six minute video explaining cognitive bias – “How Cognitive Biases Affect Our Thinking” – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RghwukdKJ-g

From their description – “Cognitive biases are part of being human. Mental shortcuts allow us to function in a complex world and ensure our safety and survival. But in some situations they misfire and cause us to simplify the world in an inaccurate way. But with conscious effort, we can work to overcome them.”

It’s another resource for justice and truth. Maybe something to consider during our table conversation today.

V.    Lord, keep this nation under your care;
R.    And guide us in the way of justice and truth.
