Creating Conclusions From First Impressions

Halo effect

  • We jump into conclusions with the first impressions of something
    • So much so that anything beyond that is information wasted

To derive information from many sources, make them independent of each other

  • Unbiased sources get biased through being exposed initially to other sources
    • We are likely to slightly modify our point of view if the context that it is being presented doesn’t abide by it.

Reading books

  • The first books you read in a topic are going to become the foundation from which you evaluate from.
