Find Out Which Cognitive Biases Are Changing Your Point of View
Cognitive biases can change the way you see things, and often in a bad way. Fortunately, simply realizing your biases can help you overcome them.
The Know Yourself poster by Jesse Richardson at yourbias.is covers several worldview-changing biases that we’ve probably all suffered from. You learn about “declinism,” for example, when you think the past was better than the present and assume that the future will be worse, despite what the hard facts say. Or the “just world hypothesis,” where your desire for a just world makes you believe it exists. And the “fundamental attribution error” is when you judge others by their nature and yourself by their situation. Not cool! But at least the poster has some extra tips on how to avoid these sometimes harmful mental mistakes.
