The Bias That Divides Us The Science and Politics of Myside Thinking
التحيز الذي يفرقنا: العلم والسياسة في التفكير الجانبي
Why we don't live in a post-truth society but rather a myside society: what science tells us about the bias that poisons our politics.
In _The Bias That Divides Us_, psychologist Keith Stanovich argues provocatively that we don’t live in a post-truth society, as has been claimed, but rather a myside society. Our problem is not that we are unable to value and respect truth and facts but that we are unable to agree on commonly accepted truth and facts. We believe that our side knows the truth. Post-truth? That describes the other side. The inevitable result is political polarization. Stanovich shows what science can tell us about myside bias: how common it is, how to avoid it, and what purposes it serves.
