We have a tendency to interpret (or seek out) information that is consistent with our beliefs.

Introduction
This is a bias that is often unintentional, and leads to poor decision-making.
Often it also means ignoring new information that would contradict those beliefs.

Deeper dive
Types of Confirmation Bias:
There are 3 main components at play, which affect us all (to some extent):
- A biased search — i.e., only seeking out information that agrees with your existing beliefs.
- A biased interpretation — i.e., processing objectively neutral information as backing up your beliefs.
- A biased memory — i.e., only remembering information that agrees with your beliefs.
