Great find. Thanks for sharing it. I've read about Confirmation Bias before. But this article is a wealth of interesting studies.
That part near the end where it talks about triggering a defensive, emotional reaction? I've experienced that fairly recently. There is a 63 year old White Stockbroker that I talk with sometimes. He's a pretty smart guy and we agree with most everything. Except man made global warming.
I triggered the hell out of his defensive, emotional reaction. First time I've ever seen him get upset. I just rolled my eyes and walked away when that happened.
We don't talk about it anymore. But I might show him this article and see what he thinks.
