This article reads like a single sound bite.<p>I agree that the internet and social media can act as a catalyst to celebrate confirmation bias.<p>But I also think we have to be mindful beyond just confirmation bias and include conformity bias and halo effect.<p>In fact, you could probably add another 5-10 common human biases to the list, but Zipf’s Law would help narrow down which ones to focus on.<p>My personal feeling as an observer of human behaviour and the parent of teens is that we need to specifically educate ourselves with an emphasis on common biases.<p>Bias innoculation thru education perhaps?
