Some here are the opposite of you, for sure and yes, confirmation bias works for them too.
Here it is Southerner. I simply asked if confirmation bias works both ways. You said, essentially, that it doesn't afflict you because you are "rational" and "objective" and look for both the "positive" and "negative" and call it as *you* see it.
Then you say "some" (others) on here are susceptible to positive confirmation bias, but surely not you!
So there it is. You are the truly unbiased arbiter of honest true assessment. Not susceptible to known or unknown bias! Un-#$##n'g believable!
