In an essay about "confirmation bias".............
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,one of my favorite thinkers shows some confirmation bias:
"It is generally possible to predict what people will think about abortion from what they think about climate change, and vice versa; and those who are concerned about wealth inequality tend to favour gun control, while those who are not, do not. Why, since these seem wholly unrelated issues, should this be so? Opinions seem to be based more and more on what team you belong to and less and less on your assessment of facts."
