1: Why Can't We See?

About this sermon

On this introductory episode of Learning How to See, Brian, Jacqui, and Richard talk about two biases that set the stage for all the others: 1. Confirmation Bias: the human brain welcomes information that confirms what it already thinks and resist information that disturbs or contradicts what it already thinks. 2. Complexity Bias: the human brain prefers a simple lie to a complex truth. Resources: • The transcript for this episode.
