    that also makes you susceptible to confirmation bias.

    “Don’t have expectations!”

    No. I refuse. I expect people to piss and moan about every little silly thing as they destroy the world. I expect people to blame everyone but themselves as they realise their descendants are going to have to endure unliveable conditions. And then I expect the human race to dwindle and expire.

    I’m keeping my expectations.

      that is not at all the point. the point is to be aware of your expectations, really examine new evidence objectively, and make sure you’re not accepting it just because it feels good.
