Cognitive Biases in the Political Arena

Featured Replies

I will tell you that I'm prone to:

 

  • The Halo Effect (I tend to think people's incompetence in one field to be a sign of general incompetence)
  • False Concensus (surely people see this, it's so fucking obvious)
  • Declinism (we're all going to hell in a handbasket) --> This actually I'm consciously paying attention to these days to get better at avoiding it
  • 3 weeks later...

 

Concision Bias: also known as "I am a journalist!" - a leftlist loser who used to stand around with a shaking hand, desperately grasping a cigarette (when it was still cool, now a low fat latte), smelling of ten day old sweat and crap (an statement of empowerment for a Feminist), while coming down from a whiskey binge (Ecstacy), twenty year old camera (cellphone) in the other hand, while waiting for the "Big Break". Millions of cretins like these now shape your "perception" on a daily basis. Since complex Thought is well above the masses, feed them half the crap via Oprah and Ellen Degenerate.

Frankly, I bypass it all by assuming everyone is incompetent and corrupt! Then prove me wrong.

Good position, this way, you can only be positively surprised :)

I don't suppose you're a Democrat :D
