Habe jetzt mehrfach den Fake-Screnshot vom angeblichen Trump-Posting mit einem Burger-fressenden 6-fingrigen Soldaten in die Timeline bekommen. 🤦♂️
Da habt ihr euch vom eigenen "confirmation bias" hinters Licht führen lassen, Leute.

Die Gefahr, kognitiver Dissonanz durch den Bestätigungsfehler („Confirmation Bias“) auszuweichen, unterliegen wir als Menschen alle.
Aber #Trump nimmt das als seine MAGA-Superpower, nach dem Motto: „Nobody knows the Confirmation Bias better than I do!“ 🤭🇺🇸🫡
(Deswegen ärgert ihn auch jeder Hinweis auf eine verlorene Wahl. Un-vor-stellbar!)
„US-Präsident Donald Trump ist bei der Meisterschaft der National Basketball Association, den NBA-Finals, in seiner Heimatstadt New York von den Zuschauern ausgepfiffen worden. Die Buh-Rufe und Pfiffe brachen los, als die Bildschirme in der Arena das Gesicht des Präsidenten zeigten, während er zur Nationalhymne salutierte. […] Trump interpretierte dies indes als Jubel der Zuschauer. "Das waren in erster Linie Anfeuerungsrufe, scheint mir, lautstark und begeistert", sagte Trump, als er später auf die Rufe angesprochen wurde.“

A quotation from Claude Bernard
But it happens further quite naturally that men who believe too firmly in their theories, do not believe enough in the theories of others. So the dominant idea of these despisers of their fellows is to find others’ theories faulty and to try to contradict them. […] They make experiments only to destroy a theory, instead of to seek the truth. At the same time, they make poor observations, because they choose among the results of their experiments only what suits their object, neglecting whatever is unrelated to it, and carefully setting aside everything which might tend toward they idea they wish to combat.
[Mais il arrive encore tout naturellement que ceux qui croient trop à leurs théories ne croient pas assez à celles des autres. Alors l’idée dominante de ces contempteurs d’autrui est de trouver les théories des autres en défaut et de chercher à les contredire. […] Ils ne font des expériences que pour détruire une théorie, au lieu de les faire pour chercher la vérité. Ils font également de mauvaises observations, parce qu’ils ne prennent dans les résultats de leurs expériences que ce qui convient à leur but, en négligeant ce qui ne s’y rapporte pas, et en écartant bien soigneusement tout ce qui pourrait aller dans le sens de l’idée qu’ils veulent combattre.]Claude Bernard (1813-1878) French physiologist, scientist

A quotation from Claude Bernard
Men who have excessive faith in their theories or ideas are not only ill prepared for making discoveries; they also make very poor observations. Of necessity, they observe with a preconceived idea, and when they devise an experiment, they can see, in its results, only a confirmation of their theory. In this way they distort observation and often neglect very important facts because they do not further their aim.
[Les hommes qui ont une foi excessive dans leurs théories ou dans leurs idées sont non-seulement mal disposés pour faire des découvertes, mais ils font aussi de très-mauvaises observations. Ils observent nécessairement avec une idée préconçue, et quand ils ont institué une expérience, ils ne veulent voir dans ses résultats qu’une confirmation de leur théorie. Ils défigurent ainsi l’observation et négligent souvent des faits très-importants, parce qu’ils ne concourent pas à leur but.]Claude Bernard (1813-1878) French physiologist, scientist

[en] How political conspiracy theories start and spread, and why people believe them
Some systematic background to #conspiracy theories or "#conspiracisms" (Prof. Tyson).
"I think now we’re just well past the point of no return," says Tyson, who teaches an undergraduate class on conspiracy theories ...
"Conspiracy theories thrive especially in environments where #uncertainty, ſfear, or #distrust are rampant ..."

When theoretical physicist #MattODowd worries if #physics is being stalled, could one of the nearly 200 identified #cognitive #biases be at play? One such obstacle to clearer perceiving & thinking is called "Plan Continuation Bias". A 2-minute animated video illustrates the concept. h/t @redshiftdrift🔗 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rr9Rlic6hJk

A while ago, I saw a study which found that, in the absence of knowing the actual rules, people will make up rules to explain observed behaviour. Something happened this week which made me think "I should write about that for #FactFriday this week", but it seems I didn't save the link, and now I can't find it.But in looking for that article, I did find this one https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/02/27/why-facts-dont-change-our-minds which is kinda similar and quite interesting. In part it mentions #ConfirmationBias...

I just updated a #preprint from a couple of years ago (mostly edited for readability): https://psyarxiv.com/f9382
We wanted to see if medical students making #diagnoses would show a #PrimacyBias, #ConfirmationBias and #overconfidence. We did three #preregistered classroom experiments. Results were... mixed. (1/4)
