What are cognitive biases?

Cognitive biases are a form of thinking error that can lead to distorted or inaccurate conclusions.

They involve the systematic use of incomplete or inaccurate information to make decisions, or the refusal to consider alternative explanations and outcomes.

Common cognitive biases include overgeneralization, Confirmation bias, and hindsight bias. Cognitive biases can be dangerous as they can lead to poor decision-making and irrational behavior.
