  6. A quotation from Orwell

    The point is that we are all capable of believing things which we know to be untrue, and then, when we are finally proved wrong, impudently twisting the facts so as to show that we were right. Intellectually, it is possible to carry on this process for an indefinite time; the only check on it is that sooner or later a false belief bumps up against a solid reality, usually on a battlefield.

    George Orwell (1903-1950) English journalist, essayist, writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]
    Essay (1946-03-22), “In Front of Your Nose,” “As I Please” column, Tribune Newspaper

    Madeleine L'Engle (1918-2007) American writer
    Speech (1983-11-16), “Dare To Be Creative,” Lecture, Library of Congress, Washington, DC

  9. #CognitiveBiases in the #Bible (with Dr. Bart Ehrman)

    youtube.com/watch?v=YYfxczHZfg

    "The authors of the #NewTestament experienced #cognitivebias like anyone else, and sometimes that shows in the text. Dr. Bart Ehrman joins me to discuss how #attributionbias, #fundamentalattributionerror, and #confirmationbias influenced the writings of the #apostlePaul, the Pastoral #epistles, the New Testament canon, and #biblical interpretation."
