The Brain Filters Information to Confirm Beliefs
The brain functions as a prediction-making machine, favoring certainty over nuance when processing beliefs. When attempting to adopt new beliefs, the brain resists due to existing contrary evidence, which it selectively emphasizes. The brain filters out information it deems unnecessary, leading to a curated perception of reality. This curation extends to sensory information and interpretations, shaping one's worldview based on pre-existing beliefs rather than objective reality.
