Episode 7: Cognitive Biases

from An Attempt at Civil Discourse Hosted by Eden D. Cohen

What are cognitive biases, and why do they happen to us? In this episode we examine these mental distortions through plenty of examples, and explore how we can guard ourselves against the most pernicious of them. We'll also find out which cognitive biases afflict Andrew and Eden, both from their own perspective as well as the other's. Last but not least, we go through several polite but effective ways to communicate with someone blindsided by a cognitive bias.
