I Love a Good Quote
"When we are in the grasp of illusion – or, for that matter, whenever we have a new idea – instead of searching for ways to prove our ideas wrong, we usually attempt to prove them correct. Psychologists call this the confirmation bias, and it presents a major impediment of our ability to break free from the misinterpretation of randomness." -Leonard Mlodinow-
"In today's society, critical thinking is shunned. People willfully and ignorantly now subscribe to cognitive dissonance. Logic is no longer taught in schools. Going to Google has become a norm for those who wish to sacrifice their freedoms and their basic right to think for themselves. People have now become more interested in confirming a biased belief rather than coming to a conclusion based on logic, facts and supportive evidence. Confirmation bias is the new plague which has been hoisted upon modern day society." -Me-
