Respectfully Question it All.

How do we know what we know? How do we learn? How do we change what we believe, or our perception of the world around us?

Altering our perception is not an easy task, but it is possible. Our brains are hardwired to see the world in a certain way, and changing the way we see things is not easy. However, it is possible to rewire our brains, and when we do, we can learn to see things in a new and different way.

When we're faced with a decision, our brain automatically starts to look for information that confirms our preconceived notions. This is called confirmation bias, and it can lead us to make bad decisions. But, if we can learn to recognize when we're falling into this trap, we can make better decisions.

Cognitive biases are one answer to these questions. A cognitive bias is a mental shortcut that allows us to make quick decisions based on limited information. We all use cognitive biases, and they can sometimes be helpful. But they can also lead us to make inaccurate judgments.

Perception is another answer to these questions. Perception is the process of taking in information from the world around us and making sense of it. Our brains are constantly taking in information and trying to make sense of it. But sometimes our brains can trick us. They can make us see things that aren’t really there, or they can make us believe things that aren’t true.

Preconceived notions are another answer to these questions. A preconceived notion is a belief that we have about something before we have all the information. We all have preconceived notions. They can be helpful, but they can also lead us to make inaccurate judgments.

So, how do we change our perception, or our cognitive biases, or our preconceived notions?

One way is to education ourselves. We can learn about the different types of cognitive biases and how they can lead us astray. We can learn about perception and how our brains can trick us. We can learn about preconceived notions and how they can distort our view of the world.

Another way is to challenge our beliefs. When we encounter new information, we should ask ourselves if it contradicts our existing beliefs. If it does, we should be open to changing our beliefs.

Finally, we can try to be aware of our own biases and preconceived notions. We can try to view the world objectively, without letting our own biases distort our view. The bottom line is that we all have biases and preconceived notions. But we can try to overcome them by educating ourselves and by challenging our beliefs.

The bottom line is that our brain is hardwired to see the world in a certain way, but we can learn to recognize our cognitive biases and use them to our advantage. When we do, we can develop and learn in ways we never thought possible.
