As you read this sentence, your brain has just processed about 20 million bits of information. In fact, every second of every day, your brain processes about 11 million bits. And yet, that astonishing number just isn’t enough to get you through your day. Consequently, your brain takes some shortcuts—and it’s those shortcuts, called heuristics, that make it all work. Some shortcuts are completely benign and helpful—such as your ability to recognize your child even if half his face is in shadow or your ability to imagine tomorrow even though you will never actually see it.
The shortcuts of cognitive biases, however—when the brain fills in gaps of solid, reliable information with a lot of guesswork for efficiency’s sake—can lead to errors of memory and judgment and cause faulty decision-making with unintended, even dire, consequences. For example, take confirmation bias. This tendency to consider only information that confirms our existing beliefs can cause us to make incorrect assumptions about the cause of a coworker’s behavior, misinterpret experimental data, or even make disastrous engineering decisions resulting in loss of life.
In Understanding Cognitive Biases, you will learn how to recognize these biases for what they are, counteract them when necessary, and even use them to your advantage in some instances. In 24 fascinating lectures, Dr. Alexander B. Swan uses examples from psychology experiments, history, politics, movies, TV, comics, social media, and more to illustrate dozens of cognitive biases that affect us all. You’re not alone in your sometimes irrational judgments and interpretations of events or people. But you can learn how to make better decisions—no matter what shortcuts your brain wants to take!

I’ll never truly understand climate change denier-contrarians. Obstinate little boys. They’ll burn & drown same as everyone else.

Apnea you get that a lot on this site. People will discount hundreds of studies and thousands of scientists just to believe one guy with a non-peer-reviewed study if it fits their personal beliefs. It is the way humans are. Annoying but true but it happens everyday.

A man in the park told me that aliens run the government.
He wasn’t wearing trousers, and had a powerful odour, so I’m certain he’s the kind of guy I want to believe.

Until you apply a broader evolutionary lens you won’t see that 100 peer reviewed studies influenced by perverse incentives sway the experiment, that is not science. How many of these scientists actually use first principals thinking, which requires you put your personal feelings aside. No doubt we alter the environment in the same way wolves being re-introduced to Yellowstone Park creates trophic cascading. The same scientists are easily gamed by sociopathic types and it’s heavily influenced by funding bodies. What science? That’s not truth, most of these people will lie and carefully craft narratives to get funding according to government policy. Again, not science.
