The Bias Barrier

The Bias Barrier refers to the challenge that preconceived beliefs and prejudices can create when evaluating information, making it difficult to see facts objectively. It affects how we interpret data, feedback, or new ideas, often leading us to favor what confirms our existing views and dismiss what contradicts them. This barrier can impede learning, decision-making, and fair judgment, as our biases shape our perceptions more than the actual evidence. Overcoming the Bias Barrier requires awareness of our biases and actively questioning our assumptions to make more balanced and informed judgments.
