"There are things you know but can't quite put the finger on what it is. It often happens to me that I read some news here, see how opinions are evenly divided

"There are things you know but can't quite put the finger on what it is. It often happens to me that I read some news here, see how opinions are evenly divided but to me it's crystal clear what's going to happen. Then it happens. Still I cannot explain why."
Sounds a bit like confirmation bias in action to me; there are almost certainly times you are crystal clear on what's going to happen and then it doesn't happen.
- narag 13y agoHi George. Well, it sounds like it. But I don't think it is. Anyway, I'm not trying to say that I'm specially smart or clairvoyant. On the contrary, if I cannot articulate why, it seems like an useless "superpower". I was trying to say (in the vein of the article) that common sense brings us often the answer, but there is a lot of distraction or plain disinformation that clouds the debates.
