We are highly intelligent. That's a given.

You're right, though. We do definitely make some very silly decisions. That's also a given.

But we don't do them because of stupidity. We do them because we are convinced that they aren't that stupid. And guess what the culprit is? Confirmation Bias.

You are right. We do make a lot of decisions that are bad for our future. A lot of us also take some very clever ones. But, to just see the bad ones means that you are heavily afflicted with Confirmation Bias.

I dare you. Try to get out of it.

I keep mentioning it because you keep ticking the boxes for it.

You are ignoring the fact that I keep saying we make bad decisions and that we are, in part, stupid (if that's what you want to call it - I would say we think too much in the "now").

And ignore evidence is what people who are afflicted with confirmation bias do. They ignore evidence that goes against their opinion. They also use persuasive language to prove their point, rather than state things simply. I'm not "allergic" to your analysis. I disagree with you, in part. Surely, sir, that is ok. Is it not?

We very well could be headed in a bad way. But there are some new positive, forward looking trends out there that just might catch on. Maybe they won't. I don't know. I don't profess to. Do you?

You're making lots of assumptions... That's typical of someone afflicted (quite heavily I might add) with confirmation bias. Are you getting frustrated? You're also starting to result to petty insults. You must be.

Give it time. I imagine there would be people preparing for next season. It might take a while longer too. There a lots of factors at play.

Again, the insults and assumptions! Ouch. Resorting to those usually demonstrates frustration or anger or a lack of humility.

And, yes, we are all afflicted with confirmation bias. I said it a while ago, in this thread. I mentioned how it rocked my world. All those things I assumed sprung out at me as just that, assumptions. Contrary to what you say, I can admit to that.

I wonder if you can.
