Random Musing: Is the new Superman movie ‘anti-Israel’? Depends on your 'extrapolation bias'
Posted
The Extrapolation Bias: A meta-bias where one’s brain takes one bit of data and decides to use it explain everything. It’s the Captain Planet of cognitive distortions – summoned when Confirmation Bias, Availability Heuristic, the Baader-Meinhof Effect, Illusory Correlation and Narrative Bias join forces. It’s the mind’s lazy cognitive shortcut where one instance becomes an example of a pattern and ergo proof of how society is functioning. You're not analysing — you're projecting, pattern-hunting, and storytelling your way into a worldview that feels right, even if it has no resemblance to reality.
