Why we live not in a post-truth society, but in a society of the "other side": What science tells us about the bias that poisons our politics. In his book “The Bias That Divides Us”_, psychologist Keith Stanovich puts forward the controversial idea that we do not live in a post-truth society, as claimed, but rather in a society that “takes our side.” Our problem lies not in our inability to appreciate and respect truth, but in our inability to agree on generally accepted truths and facts. We believe that our side knows the truth. After the truth? This describes the other side. The inevitable result is political polarization. Stanovich shows what science can tell us about “take our side” bias: how common it is, how to avoid it, and what goals it serves.
