Similar to how people who have never studied cognitive bias assume they are unbiased.
- haswell 2y agoThis was the first thing that came to mind. After being a skeptic and avoiding it for years, I decided to do a mindfulness/meditation experiment, and indeed, one of the first things I started to realize was just how much my brain would go down rabbit holes of discursive thought. Becoming more mindful absolutely made me feel like I was less mindful, simply because I was actually noticing. I need to dig deeper into the study to see if/how they accounted for this, but it seems like it'd be a major factor in a self-reporting situation.
