- meowface 10y agoThey should add an entry for the "bias awareness" bias. :)
- thedevil 10y agoCan you back this up with an example or explanation? It seems like a counter intuitive claim By learning about biases, I've been able to spot a lot of my own. I don't see how that makes me more overconfident (I was already arrogant) or more prone to bias. And I'd much rather argue with someone else who is familiar with cognitive biases. Edit: and just for fun, you could say I'm just showing commitment/consistency bias since I've already invested time to learn about biases.
