Saturday, June 07, 2025

How to avoid confirmation bias:
* Actively seek out diverse perspectives: Expose yourself to different viewpoints and information sources, even those that contradict your own.
* Challenge your assumptions: Ask "What if I'm wrong?" and consider evidence that might disprove current beliefs.
* Be critical of all information: Evaluate evidence objectively, regardless of whether it supports your views.
* Consider the opposite: When testing a hypothesis, consider whether alternatives or the negative of the hypothesis might be true.
