The conversation between human and AI assistant.
What causes rejection of believing evidence when it contradicts a person's beliefs?
Hmm, that's interesting. Can education or critical thinking skills play a role in decreasing the likelihood of rejecting evidence?
Yes, education and critical thinking skills can certainly help people to evaluate evidence objectively and overcome their biases. By teaching people how to evaluate evidence and think critically, they are better equipped to weigh the evidence for themselves and form their own conclusions. It can also help people recognize their own biases and be more open to conflicting information.
