“The eye sees only what the mind is prepared to comprehend.” The human mind is a complex entity that is capable of many things. It can reason, analyse, interpret, and create. But, at the same time, it is also prone to biases. These biases can affect our judgment, decision-making, and actions. Bias is the tendency to favour one thing over another, often without good reason. Biases are rooted in our experiences, beliefs, and cultural background.

Reasons for Biased Minds Evolutionary Heritage Humans have evolved over millions of years, and during this time, they have developed certain biases that have helped them survive.
