Quote: then why did you create an entire thread as if confirmation bias is a bad
That's your inference not my words. Confirmation bias is a bad way to draw decisions, by and large, but even a blind squirrel finds the occasional nut. I'm not going to let go of my nut just because I found it a certain way. I can appreciate what believe without defending the means I came to it.
Quote: If you think that confirmation bias helps you, then you shouldn't care if other people have a lot of confirmation bias as well because you don't consider your own confirmation bias to be a bad thing at all. You hold on to confirmation bias because it helps you. And yet you made a thread as if confirmation bias is something that everyone should try to eliminate from their minds, as if it's a bad thing to have.
I'm neither proud nor ashamed of my confirmation bias. I'm merely aware of it. I like to find stuff out about myself. This video helped me to see things things In myself. You ascribe me motivations and inference which I never had. YOU tell me I'm making this as if confirmation bias is something everyone should try to eliminate (I would never be so presumptuous as to tell everyone what they should do) then criticise me for doing so! Do you see the problem here? You're telling me what I MEANT (which is not what I said) then finding fault with that.
You appear to be assuming that what I think is right for me is what I infer should be right for all. I don't believe that. Is it hypocrisy to say I like jellied eels but you probably won't?
Quote: That is the reason I considered your OP to be disingenuous and hypocritical the moment I saw it.
Is it indeed? Or is it just a bit close to home for you. I'm starting to wonder Rayaan, if you are projecting.
Quote:Possibly even deliberately blissfully ignorant. Why should that trouble you? I'm not pissing in your front garden. From your perspective guess every atheist here who has not bothered to seek the truth in the Qu'ran must also be wilfully ignorant, you don't seem to give them a tough time for it.
That is not just knowing that you "may be wrong." Rather, that is you being deliberately ignorant.
Sorry, not just deliberately ignorant ... but also blissfully ignorant
