in the previous chapter, we met the father of all fallacies, the confirmation bias. we are forced to established beliefs about the world, our lives, the economy, investments, our careers and more. we deal mostly in assumptions, and the more nebulous these are, the stronger the confirmation bias. Whether you go through life believing that people are inherently good or people are inherently bad. you will find daily proof to support your case. both parties, the philanthropists and the misanthropes, simply filter disconfirming evidence and focus instead on the do-gooders and dictators who support their worldview.
