We all have a bias to something its a natural occurance in our brains, but what exactly is an bias? We have basic biases based on cultural experiences or personal experiences such as for instance japanese people being afraid of foreigners(Xenophobia) based on prejudges or simply because foreigners are "new"and "scary" or a woman being scared of men because of sexual harassements. These can be discovered rather quickly and thus easily treated but some Biases arent as quickly seen.
Confirmation bias: This is a bias that makes you see the use in positive arguments and dismiss negative ones, lets say you want to buy a game but you read on 9/10 websites that its bad. You tend to ignore it until you find the 10th website saying its a masterpiece, as such you buy the game without holding any regard to the negative reviews.
Hind-sight bias: Ever saw someone walk and told yourself theyd trip because their shoelaces were a mess and they did? News flash you might be suffering from hind-sight bias, the person couldve tripped over an misplaced brick or simply something hindering him/her. Hind-sight bias is a bias where your judgement isnt completely wrong but your brain makes it appear that you were right all along simply because well its easier and boosts your ego ever heard someone say "I told you so!"?
There are more versions of bias but explaining them all takes too much time for me to write down and you to read, my point is that in life and in metaphysics you always should find proof for your claims and not just from one source but multiple. And you should always be aware that you might be suffering from a bias, simply put look at yourself in a third perspective. Dont always question yourself however, only when its important!
