![]() One characteristic of ‘Declinism’ for me is the way I chose to perceive people from my past. It goes without saying that this cognitive bias can be the most self destructive as our perceptions can skew the truth and determine what we believe, for us. ![]() I can confidently agree that I have suffered with ‘Declinisim’ and the way I perceived the past and the future. ![]() This cognitive bias speaks truth to all of us. Declinism - You remember the past as better than it was, and expect the future to be worse than it will likely be. However, be mindful of the information you choose to believe as some may not be a true reflection of the informative source itself. I believe that there will never be enough information to source and with the growth in infrastructure across the internet we will never be without information. It is important to note that the importance is not in education itself, but self education of self interest. As Bertrand Russell said “ The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are so certain of themselves, yet wiser people so full of doubts.” I will continually strive for information that is being re-created and enhanced.

Being mindful of thought can allow someone to develop a cognitive “defence force”, allowing one to make less “mental mistakes.” It also goes without saying that our perceptions shape our actions, our experiences and our lives, emphasising the importance of understanding cognitive biases and the power of the human mind.Īs Jeff Desjardins states “when it comes to interpreting information and making objective sense of reality, human brains are hard-wired to make all kinds of mental mistakes that can impact our ability to make rational judgements.” As human beings, we aren’t perfect, but we aren’t imperfect, either. Since the dawn of time, human beings have suffered with “flawed human reasoning” and the very own cause to manifesting our very own perception of reality. Cognitive Biases that are Warping Our Perception of RealityĪs I find myself ever more fascinated by the human mind and the influence it has over human behaviour, I thought it would be healthy for me to explore the cognitive biases that we all find warping our very own perception of reality.
