In today’s highly connected world, we can collect endless types of information with just a few clicks of a keyboard or swipes across a screen.
However, despite this modern ability, we often subconsciously collect information that reinforces our preconceptions, which leads to biased decision making. One reason for this lies in confirmation bias.
Confirmation bias is the tendency to only focus on information that supports one’s preexisting beliefs and desires while, at the same time, dismissing information that challenges them.
