    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: 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: Seeing Is A Social Act
    Oct 12 2020
    On this episode of Learning How to See, Brian, Jacqui, and Richard talk about the next three biases that look at the social dimensions of seeing: Community bias: It is very hard to see something your group doesn’t want you to see. This is a form of social confirmation bias. Complementarity bias: If people are nice to you, you’ll be open to what they see and have to say. If they aren’t nice to you, you won’t. Contact bias: If you lack contact with someone, you won’t see what they see. Resources: The transcript for this episode. Brian's e-book: Why Don't They Get It?

Loved it! Listened again and again

Eloquent and soul filling! Eye opening. Puts difficult conflicts in words that can be easily understood, taken in to evaluate your own biases.
