A potent and inevitable aspect of human cognition is to see the world through one’s own eyes. This shouldn’t seem surprising since our own eyes are the only ones we have, but it contradicts the admonitions people receive from childhood to see things from another’s perceptive. Empathy is a lofty but elusive goal.

The gulf between what things feel like to us and to others is impassible: No matter how hard we try, we cannot enter another person’s subjective, conscious experience. What this means is that a large part of my personal identity is completely private and unknowable to others. Other people can observe my actions and their consequences, but they can’t know what I’m thinking or feeling unless I tell them, and even then, my subjective experience of thinking and feeling is my own.

Once we have formed a view, we embrace information that confirms that view while ignoring, or rejecting, information that casts doubt on it. Confirmation bias suggests that we don’t perceive circumstances objectively. We pick out those bits of data that make us feel good because they confirm our prejudices. Thus, we may become prisoners of our assumptions.

Being a permanent prisoner of confirmation bias involves the greatest loss of all: the loss of the freedom to make conscious, responsible choices for our own life based upon trustworthy, informed, and accurate information, rather than conditioned beliefs that may no longer be valid or relevant to our current reality. Like the bumper sticker says, “Don’t believe everything you think!”

This is an invaluable process. Even the most honest and self-aware scholar or researcher needs a reality check from someone less personally invested in the outcome of a project.

Megans class on 22 September Keyword excercise:

we had to come up with about 10 keywords that describe the topic and content. Then we had to write a small sentence/couple of words to explain/illustrate these keywords better:

My keywords:

cognition
empathy
assumption
stance
judgement
schism
biases
objectivity
entrenchment

further development:

Cognition is to see the world through one’s own eyes
Empathy is experiencing through another
Assumption is the mother of all fuckups
A stance is a hill to die on
Judgement is to cast the first stone
Schism a societal breach
Biases as fuel to a fire
Objectivity the unattainable
Entrenchment as in choosing to isolate

lastly we had to come up with a sentence utilising most of these keywords on the fly in order to perhaps gain new insights into our topic:

judging a stance on its objectivity whilst ignoring your own bias is a surefire way to cause a schism, both in society and between your own cognition and ability to empathise.
