        >Falsifying one’s own biases is much more fun... Meaning... Looking for evidence AGAINST the very thing you've convinced yourself of.

          It seems we agree after all. My mind was attracted to this particular idea: "That is why they are all uninteresting." I happen to believe that confirmation biases (and their various relatives) are infinitely interesting, and also that there is infinite value in understanding them and their systemic consequences. The irony(?) of the situation is that finding even one individual who shares this belief is exceptionally rare, and I have been through an extremely broad spectrum of communities. This also seems rather interesting as well.
