We get a lot of information – whether we seek it out on purpose or it comes anyway.
What filter do you use to determine what is worth paying attention to and what is valuable – and what is not?
Is it confirmation bias – you want to be right and look for information that validates a position you have already taken?
Is it a filter of a goal – what is useful or not useful in you accomplishing it?
Is it your ego? What makes you feel good about yourself?
It’s all out there for you.
Change your information filter, and your world will change.
Interesting topic, Larry – definitely something to consider further.
Thanks! Have a Great Day!

Desirability Bias is one of the most insidious biases or information filters. What do you want to be true?
