  • Ep03 - Discussions of Critical Thinking with Rick Lewis

    Show Notes:

    Dunning-Kruger Effect

    Availability bias

    • “People tend to assess the relative importance of issues by the ease with which they are retrieved from memory.” (Kahneman 8)
    • Plane crashes, murders, and other unlikely events on the news.
      • Numerator vs denominator
      • Therefore, “A reliable way to make people believe in falsehoods is frequent repetition, because familiarity is not easily distinguished from truth.” (Kahneman 62)
      • Confirmation bias

        • ...looking for, or interpreting, information that is consistent with one’s existing beliefs.
        • If you believe someone or something is good/bad, you are likely to seek out (consciously or unconsciously) information that reinforces that belief
