Duart Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Nice, if this were a poster i'd buy one. The video on the link is comical, How to Speak Without Bias.... - Caucasian People => European-American Individuals - His or Her => Hir - Poor people => People living at or below the poverty line I think the second one is still heavily misogynistic, why should the second letter be from 'His' and the LAST letter from 'Her' (It should be "HES"). How terribly offensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotDarkYet Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 It would be cool to see a podcast where Stef gives examples of each of these biases individually to show why people don't question the State. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

percentient Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Overconfidence is a huge one. There was a study in the 70s that tested how overconfident people are about their opinions. They found that "over the large number of questions for which people gave odds of 1,000,000:1 or higher, they were wrong an average of about 1 time out of every 16" implying that they were too certain by A FACTOR OF SIXTY THOUSAND. There's almost uncountably many factors that go into our beliefs and decisions that we are not aware of. http://www.researchgate.net/profile/Baruch_Fischhoff/publication/230726569_Knowing_with_certainty_the_appropriateness_of_extreme_confidence/links/00b4952b854b29281c000000.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susana Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 http://www.businessinsider.com/cognitive-biases-that-affect-decisions-2015-8 It's a chart so it's hard to quote here. Worth giving a look. I already have 50 million tabs open reading acticles and whatnot. This post looks epic. Im clicking it now! but I suggest editing your post to at least tell us the top 3 or 5 or something! Or maybe attach a few pictures of the bias from the chart. Its a very nice chart.
