Confirmation Bias—Why We Ignore Facts That Don’t Fit Our Beliefs - Deepstash

Confirmation Bias—Why We Ignore Facts That Don’t Fit Our Beliefs

4️⃣ Your brain hates being wrong, so it filters reality to support your existing beliefs. This is why:

✅ You only notice news that confirms your opinions.

✅ You remember things that support your views but forget things that don’t.

✅ You reject facts that challenge your perspective, no matter how logical they are.

🔹 Confirmation bias is why debating rarely changes minds—people don’t seek truth, they seek validation.
