00:00We all have cognitive biases as human beings, it's just part of our operating system.
00:06Can we overcome our confirmation bias?
00:09Unless we actually believe that we are susceptible to that error, we're not going to change that.
00:16People recognize that other people are doing it, but very few of us
00:21will actually cop to the idea that we ourselves are susceptible to confirmation bias.
00:27We have to be in a place where we want to listen and where we understand
00:32that that doesn't necessarily threaten our own values and our own views.
