Recognize our biases
Confirmation bias: We find evidence of what we want to believe.
Conviction bias: I believe in this idea so strongly, so this must be true.
Appearance bias: I understand the people I deal with. I see them, just as they are.
We see people not as they are, but as they appear to us.
The Group bias: My ideas are my own. I do not listen to this group. I’m not a conformist
The Blame bias: I learn from my experiences & mistakes.
Superiority bias: I’m different. I’m more rational than others, more ethical as well
Conviction bias: I believe in this idea so strongly, so this must be true.
