  Confirmation Bias is my favourite bias. Because every time I experience it, it reminds me why it's the best.

  This performance pretty much confirms everything I already thought about confirmation bias.

  As a strong believer in confirmation bias, I just knew I had to click on this instantly. Turns out I was right all along.

  It's amazing that 14 years later and after many trials and character growths on my part later Tim Minchin is still making me absolutely amazed at his ability to get a room of people to shut up and rethink their actions and attitudes for a minute.

  My favourite experience with confirmation bias was when I was arguing with a friend and then to prove our point, we both shared the same study. I thought it proved my point, while she thought it proved hers. It was the same study, same results, just exactly opposite conclusions

  Tim Minchin has engineered an entire career just to be able to live out the nerd dream of ranting at a captive audience about cognitive biases and have them <i>like it.</i>

  “I checked my privilege and you’re still fucking wrong” made me laugh so hard

  That punchline at the end is just pure genius!<br>Self deprecation instantly disarms any ad hominem argument.

  ‘Churches are sports teams just with mascots who can fly’ gosh I love how your brain works and explains things!

  &quot;... and that is because I am a hypocrite.&quot; Ooh, I was so ready to be a little bit annoyed at the irony of the rant, and then that line smacked the wind out of my sails. Good show. Definitely something to think about. Tim always hits the nail on the head, and he&apos;s hilarious to boot.
