@palace Not me! 😛
@palace But yes. That is why I made the coaching reference. I practice a lot not listening to my biases. And do understand how impossible it is...
@palace The more you avoid jumping to conclusions the more you realize what an endless obstacle course of biases live within you.

@palace Which is why we can trust no one, even the brain scientists ;)
@palace And I completely agree. I don't believe anyone can untangle all the bias distortions. I just want more to realize their existence.

@palace Perhaps it is a rare skill because understanding of the brain is in its infancy and have not yet reached our learning environments.
@palace But yes, I would imagine a majority of journalists rely on the closed-mindedness of the receiver.
@palace My point was this: deciding to believe an article is a leap of faith in that it means you decide to trust the source.
@palace And I agree this happens because the article aligns with your biases, hence "what you expect to find".
↪ Replying to @palace
@palace Certainly, but as you say then: we can be more or less aware of this and put more or less effort into countering our own biases.
@palace In a coaching capacity, for instance, I rarely give advice because I can not truly understand the other person's emotions and circumstances.
Gah! On the LinkedIn iPad app when I connect it won't allow me to explain why I want to. Can somebody please invent the the LI killer, soon.

@palace So you don't agree that different people can have different levels of "open mind"?
@carlbildt Hej! Jag arbetar på en bok om digitalisering och etik. Skulle det vara möjligt att få en kort intervju med dig ngnstans sep-nov?
↪ Replying to @palace
@palace True, which shows how important it is to be open-minded and always ready to change your beliefs.
@palace I was mostly thinking about media reporting, in which case people rarely seek out contradictory information.
No matter what you read, you never get all the information. Jumping to conclusions is always a leap of faith.
Förut hette det att partiet spelat ut sin roll. Nu har de spelat ut sitt troll.

@whitingx @AmazonKindle @AmazonFR I just clicked the link and .co.uk is whereI ended up. I'm sure I can buy it from .com but I couldn't be bothered to search on mobile 😛

@whitingx @AmazonKindle This was unexpected: "Not available in your country..."

@naynerz I'm not. I'm making an observation at the companies that hire me as a consultant. :)
When I see people spending an hour to "clean" their mailboxes because their company is sending out alerts that it's "full".
And then I'm hired because they want to improve inefficient intranet workflows...
I want to be like, well if you invest in a 500 dollar hard drive for your employees' e-mail you could save 50 gamillion in a year.
