Episode 14: Busting Bias: Uncovering Cognitive Cracks

Welcome to the 14th episode of Bias Busters: 15 Minutes with the Morris Perspective. I'm your host, Connie Morris. Today, we're exploring the fascinating topic of cognitive crack. This episode explores how mental shortcuts can distort our thinking and perpetuate biases.

We kick things off with a thought-provoking quote from Daniel Kahneman, highlighting how our confidence in beliefs is often based on the coherence of our mental stories rather than the quality of evidence. We'll then explore common cognitive biases such as confirmation bias, the halo effect, and stereotypes and provide practical tips on how to identify and combat them. Join me on this journey to foster a more inclusive and unbiased mindset.
