The Price of Bias: Talking Point Shorts
Why We Ignore the Truth—and Pay for It
What if the biggest lies we believe… are the ones we tell ourselves?
In this 15-minute #TalkingPoint Shorts episode, I uncover the hidden cost of #ConfirmationBias—the unconscious mental filter that shapes our reality, blinds us to opposing views, and reinforces what we 'want' to be true. From #SocialMedia #EchoChambers to courtroom decisions, even #medicine, bias influences how we think, judge, and act.
As Nobel-prize winner Daniel Kahneman warns, even scientists who commit to a theory tend to disregard inconsistent facts, concluding that the facts are wrong, not the theory. So the confirmation bias can easily lead us to reach inaccurate –and even unethical– conclusions.
Why do our brains do this? And more importantly—can we break free?
