Maybe this video can be summed up in one word which is HUMILITY.

Needs more views

Hi, I loved this video (super applicable in our current environment). Is there a version in Spanish or with Spanish subtitles? If not available, can I help you with the subtitles? I am fully bilingual and I believe Spanish speaking people would benefit a lot from this video.

I’ve been thinking a lot about my own confirmation bias. I’d like to take a course like this.

We have a movie about that story of the Japanese army officer. It's called 'Baler'. 🙂 It's a romantic drama. Of course, it isn't entirely about the Japanese army officer. The movie is set during that time.

The higher the stakes at being right or wrong, the harder it is to deviate from the original view point especially if it touches a core value.

People are not interested in Truth but only in what they believe. The world is full of biases.

But what they believe is what they believe to be truth. So we are all interested in truth

Very nice talk! You kept it simple and to the point.

Learned something new today! Thank you for this!

Probably the most important thing. A good way to know if you value actual truth or not is if you maintain the truths you were taught growing up. If you maintain the truths you were taught growing up, this might be a shocker, but you do not value actual truth, and are instead seeking confirmation bias.

There was (cannot recall who or when exactly) an effort in the US to seat opposed tenants at the same table and exercise some level of this open mindedness an humble understanding each other. I believe it was a public radio:tv program but again, not certain. The goal I agree with this researcher from Canada is to cross that bridge, perhaps swimming rather than walking… and meet at certain bordering beyond one own assertions.

i just subscribed to TED because of this video

Amazing

amazing i will do a video covering this topic and how gossip is a sustaining social life force a lot of the time

WISDOM IS LACKING IN SOOOOOOOO MANY.

my uncle

Canada should really be applauded for your advanced and clear and sensible thinking on gender. Or maybe a cheap shot to win your audience? An expression of confirmation bias?

I am confused...

How are you sure the scientific research itself was not bugged by the same confirmation bias?

I assume that's why research methodology is a huge part of the peer review process of a science journal/paper.

The first slide is a very poor example of confirmation bias. The interpretation of the results starts off with the assumption that climate change is factually correct (as it is presented). What if an increase in scientific literature simply confirmed (for those on the right) that the initial scepticism about the mainstream narrative about climate change is valid, thereby increasing the belief? Simultaneously, what if an increase in scientific knowledge makes those on the left more proned to hold on to their beliefs?

Climate change is a fact, it is one of very few things that scientists all agree on. If you listened to the first part of the talk, it was explained that because of confirmation bias you would choose the facts that support your stance and ignore the rest. A scientifically literate climate change sceptic would take a study or stats and find some inconsistency which wouldn't disprove the whole idea, but would use it as a stepping point to find faults in the method. Alternatively, they will focus on some minor disagreement (for example, will temp increase be 1 or 3 degrees in the next 50 years), and use it again as "proof" that climate scientists are incompetent.

"Canada is doing better" Yeah how about your great medical care.

Canadian polling seems to reflect the answer is pretty well. 33 developed first world countries on the planet. How many of them have healthcare as a right? Condescending questions don't make you very receptive do they? The point of the video was that you should be looking for arguments against your position, not reactively defending one of your positions. I think that advancement in medical technology driven by free market competition is one of the best arguments for the American system and why the US is far ahead of every other nation in medical advancement. Switching to universal healthcare may save more lives in the short term but in the long term it could postpone great discoveries that would save even more. What do you think would be some of the best arguments for the Canadian system?

definitely a problem for trump followers.😂
