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.
- 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
