I felt fresh, learning something new, different and significant in the the Critical thinking workshop. While reading the list of biases, I could relate myself to a number of biases but was also happy in identifying a few that I couldn\u2019t relate too. Phew!!
\nAccepting and challenging my own biases suddenly seemed necessary to me.I am sharing two examples where I could identify the biases in my thought process.<\/p>\n
Recently, I bought a pack of muesli. I opened the pack to gave some to Dev and stapled it and kept it aside. Few days later , I saw a trail of red ants on the edge of the kitchen platform. Following the ants, I realized that they were feasting on the NEW muesli. I immediately opened the packet to see the intensity of damage. They were there!! Immediately I emptied my the packet in a tray and kept it in the balcony in sunlight.<\/p>\n
I would check the tray every few minutes. Every time I would check, I would want to see the number of ants reducing. I was wanting to avoid feeling of the loss (muesli ) as the packet was bought just a few days back and to worsen that feeling, I hadn\u2019t used it much. Just one time serving to Dev!!<\/p>\n
To my surprise, I was able to critically evaluate that I was thinking out of \u201c aversion to loss bias\u201d or \u201c Sunk cost fallacy\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
