Translated: “We Found A Few People In Pennsylvania Willing To Say They’re As Uncertain About Kamala Harris As We Are”

Shockingly, people who think #Biden should with draw saw his press conference as proof they were right, and those who think he should stay in saw it as proof THEY were right. #ConfirmationBias is real, people.

A while ago, I saw a study which found that, in the absence of knowing the actual rules, people will make up rules to explain observed behaviour. Something happened this week which made me think "I should write about that for #FactFriday this week", but it seems I didn't save the link, and now I can't find it.

But in looking for that article, I did find this one https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/02/27/why-facts-dont-change-our-minds which is kinda similar and quite interesting. In part it mentions #ConfirmationBias...

#confirmationbias and how to avoid it

Honestly, this thread is the best example of #ConfirmationBias I've seen in an extremely long time.
Not maliciously, not with hostility, my interlocutor is simply incapable of absorbing plain facts which would cause them to have to change their mind about something. #COVID

I have written a #tutorial on how to diversify your daily news consumption through the use of #RSS feeds. A lot of research went into finding extensive lists from which you can pick reputable sources.

Please check out the article on my website:

Laura Meckler: How a true believer’s flawed research helped legitimize home schooling: Brian Ray says home-schooled students do better. His daughter tells a different story.

"One of Ray’s harshest critics is his oldest daughter, who has been estranged from her parents since 2016, when she decided to divorce her husband. Ziebart said after that, her parents 'shunned' her. In an 18-page email heavy with scripture, he told her that she had not shown “biblical grounds” for her divorce."

The news of #chatgpt being successful in diagnosing previously missed medical conditions are misleading. Undoubtedly there are a ton of situations where chatgpt has been totally wrong and following its advice would have lead to bodily harm or even fatalities. Hailing the successes only is a classic case of #confirmationbias. Having said that, it of course doesn't invalidate the possibility of using #AI and #ML for medical purposes, but chatgpt alone certainly isn't suitable as a diagnosis tool, nor should it be followed blindly without consulting health professionals. #thoughtoftheday

Ich weiß, klingt verrückt: Aber viele antiwissenschaftliche Dualisten werten #Regen spontan als Widerlegung (!) der #Klimakrise. Informierte daher zum #Bestätigungsfehler (engl. #ConfirmationBias) & #Extremwetter in der #Wasserkrise hier:

Da ich heute allzu früh aufwachte, konnte ich immerhin einen Blogpost zum häufigsten Bestätigungsfehler in der Klimakrise & vor allem Wasserkrise schreiben: „Aber hier regnet es doch!“ #Klimakrise #Wasserkrise #Regen #Niederschläge #Berge #Alpen #Flüsse #Mitwelt #Bestätigungsfehler #ConfirmationBias https://scilogs.spektrum.de/natur-des-glaubens/aber-hier-regnet-es-doch-der-haeufigste-bestaetigungsfehler-in-der-klimakrise/
