Welcome back to the Information Entropy Podcast where this week are diving into the world of cognitive biases! Where do they come from and how does it impact our day to day lives? Mitch looks at the current TikTok banning as a springboard to assess the reactance bias, why are we reluctant to do things that we are told to do? He then dives into cognitive dissonance where we question performing actions that go against our morals but find ways to justify it. On the other side, Tom takes a question based approach looking at the study of heuristics and how we have to be careful of cognitive biases in science. Music: HOME - AWAY
