Great article Al. Cognitive bias is insidious and leads to a host of bad decisions. What is more scary is how bad thinking is now being produced at scale a la AI and social media algorithms. We are feed other peoples (or state actors) biases, opinions and bad thinking all day long. Universities used to teach critical thinking skills, the antidote to cognitive bias. However, its become pretty clear lately that many institutions of higher learning are just glorified indoctrination centers now
