10.1 Confirmation Bias

What relevance does confirmation bias play in Vice Provost García Bedolla's Fireside Chat?

(Hint. The following passage can help you if you are stuck): "I think, lifting up, what I was just saying about trusting your gut? I think often we, when we are in spaces, it's easy to go along with what's dominant, or it's easy to do what everyone else is doing, or it's easier to be part of the crowd. And I think often we see opportunities or we see things that don't feel quite right and doing something about that or going down that road feels really risky. But what I like to tell my students is any trend, if you can see it it's over. And so in fact, building something new may be very difficult, but that's where the real payoff comes. And to just trust that you, we stand on the shoulders of giants and that you are here representing lots of people like you. And so, if you see something wrong or see a place where change needs to happen or see something that you think is important to either change or do or influence, that you trust yourself, that you're right in that analysis and that you are willing to take the risk."
