Conspiracy Bias from A Process Driven Life
Greetings friends. Today I submit to you part two of this mini-series on mental conditions and fallacies that hinder people from having a right mind and the ability to correctly examine facts and information so that they might act and react intelligently in the world. Hopefully you have already read part 1 on the Normalcy Bias before reading today's lesson. This part will be entitled the Conspiracy Bias.

theres a bit of bible bashing halfway through but ignore that bit the rest is good...
Sort of explains about trying to find the balance in our news hunting and conspiracy theories...
I tried to be normal once.... Worst two minutes of my life...

RE: Conspiracy Bias from A Process Driven Life
Interesting.

My thought on this is that he is using the process of elimination to decide what mindset he is. After he has eliminated one option, it must be the other. By having such a small number of options, he is causing issue. Take this an an example, If there is something flying, by my principles, it is either a bird, or a frisbee. Since it does not have feather, it is a frisbee. It's actually a moth, plane, sugar-glider, cloud, etc.

Other than that, it's an interesting read.

I preferred his other one... the normalcy bias.
This one seems a bit "out there" for me...
I understand his general idea but I don't think he got it across as well as the last one.
He seems to go off on a tangent which he didnt do in the other one...

RE: Conspiracy Bias from A Process Driven Life
Yeah, I agree with what you mean.

Personally, I really like Nutnfancy's philosophy videos! Check out youtube and look at his Fear No Evil, Sheepdog Concept, Minute Man, and loads of other videos. Really good and informative. Granted he's American, but his videos kick butt!!!!

There are LOADS of gear reviews and the alike. Granted it's US based, but really good videos none the less.
