This is one of the most effective and interesting videos on how bias affects our reasoning I've ever seen.

Nice video. It reminds me of a video I literally just watched. It's by a youtuber I happen to like, who was commenting on a video where a crowd very quickly and frighteningly worked themselves into a witch hunt mentality.

That's rather horrifying.

I thought this was just a rehashing about mankind's inherent biases. We already knew this. I'm sure similar has been shown on here multiple times.

It's something you have to realize, accept, and fight against every day if you want to continue to be a better human being.

Very few I've found even want to try. I have less and less patience for them every day.

You have to be your own toughest critic and always keep doubt, always get into debates hoping a spear is thrust in a different way that finds a weakness so you can examine what has been hidden.

The irony is staggering.
