Kevin Aucapina, Elizabeth Kolbert Thoughts

I really liked this article “Thats what you think”, because it can be used to relate to our everyday lives and our current issues. One of 2 lines that I really enjoyed was on the second page (left side), the author defines “confirmation bias” as “the tendency people have to embrace information that supports their beliefs and reject information that contradicts them”. A very well known idea is that bad people generally don’t think that they are bad, which questions whether anyone would know if they are doing the right or bad thing. With this years riots and protest, this quote really gives us a good idea of what is going on.
