"Familiarity is not easily distinguished from truth." That right there is the most important thing in this video. We see it everywhere nowadays. Everyone jumps on a bandwagon just because they've heard the same few phrases or sentiments uttered over and over and never questioned them.

Just being honest - - I have a very negative confirmation Bias. My mom brought me up to expect the worst of people and growing up I have had more of the negative actions confirmed than the positives. Super simple example "Joe says "anytime you need me i'll be there no matter what." I have learned that people say things like that without any actual substance so naturally I write it off as "yeah right". I'm a very independent person and do my best to handle situations on my own but one day I really needed "Joe" so I reached out to him telling myself he wont be able to help. Sure enough Joe 100% says he cant help nor does he even provide any type of alternative answer. I'm not saying by any means EVERY single person is like this but chances are 9 times out of 10 I expect that type of result. I'm trying to change my mindset on this and its a long journey in the making. I'm 28.

But theorizing he couldve been busy is not so much a bias but a more positive rationale which can navigate your way until you actually find out what happened.

That's why that no one can't distinguished Daniel Kahneman speech from truth?

Confirmation bias is less predominate in people who genuinely don't care either way. The more someone cares about a subject the more skeptical you should be about what they tell you. If someone cares a lot about an issue then you can bet that they've ignored opposition the whole time while allowing all support to build up their tower of ignorance higher. These are people with decades of tower building who don't even have the capacity to imagine what it's like to be on any other team and their likelihood of changing their mind is a strong 0%. They've grown old, their lives stable, their social circles locked in place, and changing what they think now is too radical and risky for their comfortable lives. It's also worth noting that a large undetermined percentage of the population has a wildly different approach to beliefs. Instead of using their own mental ability to form beliefs, they simply preserve energy by adopting whatever beliefs are most popular in their desired circles. These are the same kinds of people who fail to understand that having social approval for a belief isn't the same thing as that belief actually being true. They just lack the ability to process information so the best they can do is copy what other people think. To them, there is no difference between people thinking they are right and actually knowing the truth. This fault has led to popularized immorality throughout our history as a species.

But you would be engaging your own confirmation bias if making generalised assertions about other's confirmation bias. E.g. it is not always true that anyone who cares deeply about a subject is necessarily ignoring opposing views or contradictory evidence. After all, it is possible to care about something deeply and acknowledge POV's different to your own.

@@raefmitchell6161 You're right. And I think caring is absolutely paramount. He says that confirmation bias predominates less in people who don't care either way. Maybe he means that since you must care about something, the highest form of care would be for the truth, which must be precisely linked to morality, which is what he condemns about those who vehemently care about keeping their own opinion. In that case he'd be right. Care must be placed somewhere though, or there would be no point on believing anything (nihilism). Care for truth regardless of what one might initially believe is the highest form of avoiding confirmation bias, and indeed takes incredible courage in many situations. Many academics for example suffer from this "indifference bias" and call themselves skeptics, but use it as an excuse to never look further. Truth requires deep care, even passion I would say.

Right... Actually, I believe that the "ego", was Freud's way of describing the outcome of our most primal and base desires (id) as conflicting with our learnt behaviours which we participate in out of social obligation and expectation (superego). The ego in that context (i.e. its academic psychological context and the context of this video) isn't really a negative thing at all, and certainly not something that should be stopped from "surviving". It isn't a negative aspect of one's psychology, nor a positive one. It is an entirely neutral psychological description of the balance between our primal desires and our learnt behaviours. At least in its original academic sense (as opposed to the honestly pretty obnoxious and airy spiritualist co-opted understanding that has become popular), you literally can't be without an ego - it is an integral and entirely necessary part of your psychology without which you would be essentially braindead. If that's what you mean by "open minded", I'm not sure that's a great goal to be striving towards. Not to come off as aggressive or anything, I don't have anything at all against you - but this idea you're attempting to propagate has literally nothing to do with this video, and is actually based on a totally inaccurate and misleading understanding of psychological sciences. Cheers.

Incorrect. If an individual is born and raised in a family with an atheistic outlook on life, he/she will most likely continue to be an atheist. The same applies to people who are brought up in a religious family. This does not mean that an atheist person cannot convert to a religion, just as a religious individual cannot renounce a religion. What you are thinking about in relation to Christianity in e.g Polynesian is that it is correct that exactly this interpretation of God (Christianity) was initially not known everywhere in the world, but came around due to missionaries. But this does not exclude that people in Polynesian did not believe in a god(s), but their interpretation of god(s) was just different. All countries in the world have/had a belief in god(s), some interpretations were less logical, while other interpretations were more logical, and as time has progressed, the more logical interpretations have become mainstream (Abrahamic faith).

Due to the amount of time we were given in the video to determine a number that went with the sequence it would be MORE obvious to say "8" since it would take less processing to come to that conclusion which is also obvious. But for some reason you felt the need to confirm the bias of this video as if you were understanding the concept. So in this case it is clear that there are many rules that would establish many different answers but the most obvious one is obvious and the fact that it is obvious is proof that this video is confirming its own bias and is wrong.

This statement invalidates everything that the IQ test is founded upon. Being able to recognize patterns is a fundamental component to intelligence. Being able to recognize contexts and overlaying realities is another component to intelligence. But now, you are literally doing what the video is talking about because you are trying to validate the video instead of thinking in terms of the bigger context which is life itself. Just because we all obviously recognize the pattern of counting by even numbers doesn't mean this is a bias. It means we can follow our gut to arrive at a conclusion for information we do not know.

Just because people may see different avenues or paths to get from A-B, doesn't mean that the given context of A-B doesn't have what is called a "least path". In this instance, 8 is the least path to arrive at and make any continuation of the pattern and its this basic skill that is almost entirely what the IQ test is founded upon to determine some metric of intelligence. So the point of the video is very "use-case" in that it doesn't really pan out in life that we need to think of all the paths from any given A-B scenario but that we only need a path that works with what we have on hand. In general, people get by with that level of intelligence and that's ok. The least path is generally the most obvious or simple solution and sometimes it's actually hard to see that through the trees.

Wasnt the questio 2,4,6,X Do we ask for x? However, we can never be sure if its 8 or 7 or something else. Maybe its not even a number...

Due to the amount of time we were given in the video to determine a number that went with the sequence it would be MORE obvious to say "8" since it would take less processing to come to that conclusion which is also obvious. But for some reason you felt the need to confirm the bias of this video as if you were understanding the concept. So in this case it is clear that there are many rules that would establish many different answers but the most obvious one is obvious and the fact that it is obvious is proof that this video is confirming its own bias and is wrong. What makes an associative rule more obvious than another is directly dependent on the complexity of the logic of the association. Once something becomes communally well established or a "meme" then the level of complexity is smudged. But before knowledge becomes well established in the community, all people are statistically bound to adhere to making simple associations because they are easier to associate.

8 even numbers

Very powerful, now apply it to religion and science

I already know it by my social experience but later I came to know it have some scientific name.

3:39 is it 8?

Next number in unknown sequence 2,4,6,? could be ANY number. BUT the most important sequence in mathematics that fits the pattern is 2,4,6,8, ..n, (n+2), .. It is not about guessing which is the next number but about recognizing the sequence, the rule. If you live in a world where the most important sequence is a(n+1) = a(n)+a(n-1), you should answer 10. You should also be able to understand how to make up the rule given any number in place of ?, for example: find the rule for 2,4,6,11. Confirmation bias has NOTHING TO DO with 2,4,6,? whatsoever.

Thank God I'm not the only one who doesn't agree. That was not an example of confirmation bias.

what you see is what you see..

Is confirmation bias and belief perseverance the same thing?

Even numbers in Natural No. Set .... 2_4_6_? The next no. Is 8✨ But ya ! Confirmation Bias..... Explains a pot of things😅

Or 7 ;)

I wanted to use this video in a media literacy class until I came to the part where you refer to "Eskimos". This is a deeply offensive term. The correct usage is Inuit.

Familiarity is easy mirrored, not necessarily a good idea or thought, but a design for a particular outcome by manipulation will prompt a person to adopt an idea as their own. This can prove dangerous as well as senseless.

7?

Why was the script deleted? UnU

3:32 I came from nexpo, so obviously 21

me too and in your user name you have number 21

Ascending numbers

3:38 Maths wise it would be 8 as all the numbers are multiples of 2, each number is increase by 2 as well, all of them being even, but there is no definitive answer for this, is not like there is a rule something fixed in place, if the number is 9 or 6 or 112 there is nothing that says it can't be, depends on what you choose here.

or 2 plus 4 is 6 plus 4 is 10.

Pairs 8

Xn = Xn-1 + 2 Next number = 8

The rule is this: the next number must be higher than the previous one.

or - it could be any number, like -3.14001 ;)

The answer is 10 Cause 2-4-6 is organised by 2+2=4,2+4=6,4+6=10. It's my perception it might differ from person to person

2_4_6_? Maybe 8 or 10 8= 2*4 or 10 = 4+6

The fact that there is no absolute truth is scary....

Just curious. Did you take from the video that there is no absolute truth, or is that an aside?

alright, the numbers are 3,5, and 7 since they are primary numbers where as 2, 4, and 6 are even numbers

The answer would be 10 as the next number should be the previous two added up.
