Confirmation Bias - Why We Only See What We Want to See

In this video from Atlas of Being, we explore confirmation bias—the psychological tendency to seek, interpret, and remember information that supports our existing beliefs. The video explains how this bias is a natural mental shortcut designed to conserve brain energy but can lead to dangerous consequences, especially in high-stakes situations like criminal investigations. It also highlights our common blind spot in recognizing our own biases, regardless of intelligence. Finally, it offers practical strategies to counteract confirmation bias, encouraging intellectual humility and active efforts to challenge our beliefs by asking, "What if I’m wrong?" Join us to better understand this pervasive cognitive pattern and learn how to think more clearly.
