For motherfuck’s SAKE. PRETEND that I am trying to come from a place of love and respect. But you don’t fucking know how.

If I had to guess, I'd say that 95% of comment sections (if not posts) on social media are a combination of reductionism and *outrageous* amounts of confirmation bias.

A lot of what's accepted is based on accuracy of prediction but t anomalies are too often ignored or denied and simpler, more accurate models rejected because they don't meet people's false expectations.

I think of the Dunbar number almost as often as I think about confirmation bias.

Schwieriges Thema für mich, wenn ich ehrlich bin. Ich verabscheue Weimer und seine völkische Gesinnung. Ich würde nur zu gerne glauben, dass die ekelhaften Zeilen von ihm stammen. #ConfirmationBias

Aber besonders stark waren die Indizien nicht.

Diese zweite Feststellung dürfte auch – bei allem was wir zu #MotivatedReasoning bzw. #ConfirmationBias wissen – weiter stimmen.
Mit Updates bei #SORA scheint es aber einen Push Richtung KI-generierten Videos zu geben.

Ich bin gespannt, ob das gerade nur Hype ist – oder gekommen um zu bleiben?

Is MANIFESTING Real? The Law of Attraction vs. Confirmation Bias
Is it magic, or is it just your brain playing tricks on you? ✨🧠 We’ve all seen the TikToks about "Lucky Girl Syndrome" and writing down your dreams to make them appear out of thin air. But does the Law of Attraction actually work, or is it just pseudoscience wrapped in a pretty aesthetic? In this episode, we strip away the mystic vibes to look at the hard wiring under the hood. We explore the battle between Manifestation and Confirmation Bias. Are you actually attracting money and love, or are you just noticing opportunities you were previously ignoring? We dive deep into the concept of the Self-Fulfilling Prophecy—a psychological phenomenon where your expectations (good or bad) unconsciously force reality to match your thoughts. We also consult clinical psychology to separate dangerous delusions from evidence-based Visualization Techniques used by Olympic athletes and top CEOs. Here’s what we’re decoding: The "Secret" Flaw: Why thinking positive thoughts isn't enough (and can actually backfire). The Science of Luck: How to hack your brain to spot opportunities without needing a vision board. Therapy vs. Magic: When visualization helps heal anxiety, and when it becomes a toxic escape. Whether you are a spiritual guru or a hardcore skeptic, this episode reveals how to use the power of your mind without losing your grip on reality. 🎧 Press PLAY to learn how to hack your reality with science, not magic.

Traditional #confirmationbias = internal cognitive bias
#Posthuman #meaningmaking = bias co-created with algorithms
#Leander&Burriss make it sound like we went backwards. How can an AI teach if the #algorithm doesn't expand into new ideas but instead is built to reinforce bias? #edu800fall25
