Yeah, it’s something I catch myself doing all the time too, confirming a bias I have but then just moving on anyway. As if confirming the bias somehow made it okay to just have it.
In the moment itself I manage to move away from the bias - but a lot of times it probably happens subconsciously.
It's tricky to overcome, not sure if it is even possible to overcome it entirely.
Snarky comment aside, that’s the challenge that even if you see a flawed thinking in yourself it’s hard to change your bias. We give ourselves a pass too often.
Maybe we shouldn’t be so forgiving.
