Zwei Männer und der Confirmation Bias (Bestätigungsfehler)

In a wilderness setting, a priest and an atheist debate the existence of God, highlighting their differing beliefs. The discussion transitions into an explanation of confirmation bias, a psychological tendency to interpret information in a way that confirms existing beliefs. This bias is particularly strong in emotionally charged topics and is often passed down through generations. The video also explores how bias influences decision-making and survival, emphasizing the importance of slowing down to recognize our biases. A rule discovery task is introduced to illustrate cognitive processes, and the video concludes with insights on how repetition can shape beliefs.
