The Best Learners Don't Look for More Evidence. They Look for Evidence That Proves Them Wrong.
A simple framework for interrupting our biases at every stage of learning.
Here's something that's both fascinating and deeply human. We don't experience reality objectively. We notice the evidence that stands out. We interpret it through our existing beliefs. We share the perspectives that make the most sense to us. And we build systems that reinforce what we already think is true.
None of this is intentional. It's simply how our brains work.
