Dear friends,
It often seems like we're constantly dealing with one crisis after another—on the personal front as well as in our civic engagement. But as we take action, just how much of our perception and understanding of the issues at hand is based on facts and critical thinking, and how much is skewed by our cognitive biases? Let's explore! And we'll make it even more fun with games and various discussion formats.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cognitive biases. The funny irony of "thinking we know when we actually don't." All the subjective and irrational constructs of our own reality that shape our everyday decision making. Now can we think more clearly knowing all the possible pitfalls? Let's try!
