Separation By Cognitive Bias

Description
Lately, it's evident that there is more and more separation in the world. Most people take a firm stand towards their viewpoints, and typically aren't willing to see the other side. In today's show I want to shine a light on why I think this issue keeps getting worse. I believe there is always some sort of validity to every side, no matter what the viewpoint is. We often fail to realize this, and with the powerful force of social media, click bait headlines, and algorithms to keep showing us the same types of information we get deeper into our perspective and only see an issue through a very rigid lens. Most people naturally gravitate to some sort of confirmation bias when they are navigating through a world matter. That is to interpret, favour, and recall information in a way that confirms or supports one's prior beliefs or values. Unfortunately, this tends to lead to more divisiveness, simply for the reason that most people don't want their values or beliefs challenged.   I wanted to highlight what is going on in this very unique time in our life. My intensions are to provide a different perspective, so we can begin to coincide more harmoniously even if we have different viewpoints and beliefs.    I hope you enjoy this episode, Joel:)
