What do you think about our tendency toward confirmation bias?

Asked by I_heart_Truth (38points) January 30th, 2011

Although the human mind likes to believe that it is “of course”
dedicated to truth, in reality, what it really seeks is confirmation
of what it already believes. The ego is innately prideful and does
not welcome the revelation that much of its beliefs are merely
perceptual illusions….. (Quote by D. Hawkins,one of my mentors)
I reluctantly find this to be valid. What say some of you?
