What I'm saying I can back it up with evidence based science.
You are working through confirmation, and cognitive biases.
How We Learn - Synapses and Neural Pathways
Critical Thinking, Confirmation Bias, & You
hey, dalek
what i was attempting to clarify previously is that some of your statements you do not apply to yourself & you dont realize this.
for example, using a previous post of yours & references from the your video links...
'confirmation bias' — how does non-critical thinking happen, how is it undermined?
'people tend to acknowledge only information they already believe'. <--- this is you
'natural need for social inclusion could suspend our abilities to think critically'. <--- this is you
'we may prefer to remain in social groups that have certain attitudes, because questioning those values & attitudes might upset people close to us'. <--- this is you
see? get the picture? these statements can be used on anything we dont agree with, fill in the blanks. THIS IS NOT EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE. that was someone's antidotal psychological hypothesis. does not mean it is true, nevertheless i just used it on you since you posted it. one could say youre blinded by your own beliefs.
all im asking from anyone is answer my posts with scientific empirical evidence, otherwise, your posts & others are just antidotal, unsupported positions
answer the nasa & alexander vilenkin links, the hebrew texts i posted, or, stay within your social comfort group.
i challenge anyone to think critically otherwise they are the ones as you say are '...very detrimental thinking that drags societies'
see? playing by your rules
peace
