Common biases in thinking

You have no idea about the dutch. Plenty of intolerance here (I'm as usual a delightful exception )

 

If you're getting that impression...
Then, good.

 

If that was my only reason, then I guess I agree with you and don't know what I was talking about... Best wishes.

 

Which ones are you most guilty of? I have to remind myself of number 2 all of the time.

 

If there was an other reason I'm oblivious to it and would like to hear.
It could be you ment intolerance of the concerns of indian americans, not the actual people, but there also you would be wrong. If there are concerns how people of that ethnical minority are portrayed in american media I acknowledge it, not ridicule or laugh it away. I'm all for more accurate or positive characters/representation. But not at the expense of funny charicatures. Sometimes we actually can (and should! I would emphasize) have both.

 

probably overconfidence. it's an unfortunate side effect of being right all the time...

 

9 maybe? I'm not sure. Probably a mix of several. Pretty hard to read them all and say I excel at this one but I tried! Just to be clear: i can't pick one I'm clearly guilty of most, but that doesn't mean I think I'm above all of it!

 

Is there one about me not reading 20 points of something, but just skimming through a few od them?

If yes, then that one.

 

6 and 16, I think

 

7 and 13, but shades of others at times.

 

this is why i just named mine instead of giving the number. the chart is on an entirely different page and i don't feel like cross referencing.

 

I'd feel the same.

Clustering illusion and Salience were my two.

 

Deirdre's were confirmation bias and placebo.

I'm not doing anymore so everyone, type yours out.

 

Blind spot bias, which I think basically means i'm guilty of all the other biases too but I dont see it

 

I'm guilty of 7 and 12 mostly i suppose.

I can be stubborn as hell. I also don't care when people base arguments on info they found on the net or books. I will likely ignore that if i feel they lack personal experience to go along with it, especially if my personal experience differs.

 

useful list. i make a conscous effort to avoid all of them, and then no one knows what the hell i'm talking about.
which is ok. rather have people have no idea then to think they know something i said that i didn't.

there are some things i avoid more then others, that's for sure. and i do have an absolute paranoid prejudice against faschism,
or what i think of that as meaning, which to me is people harrassing each other for not pretending the same things as they do.

 

Clustering Illusion and Recency are probably the biases I succumb to most often.

 

I'm not biased... It's all them other guys.

 

I looked at number 17 because it had a football but I don't really understand the statement. Of course rival fans have different opinions. 40 yard pass play against my team, of course there was holding. No two iffs or buts about it. Holding every day of the week.

This morning I listen to the Broncos game via the Steelers radio station. Of course the steeler commentators were complaining and whinging and so on because they were losing. They saw things the ref's didn't see. I see that all the time when my team is losing too so it probably has some validity I just don't think it was a good example.

Or actually. Maybe it was the best example.

Though after I eventually get over a loss I can admit there wasn't holding. But not at the time hell no, those ref's were blind and deaf.

 

That's the essence of why it's a bias, you are emotionally invested in the team and therefore you selectively perceive penalty calls and cannot view the game and officiating objectively.
