3: Mountain Climbers

On this episode of Learning How to See, Brian, Gigi, Mike and Paul talk about the next two biases that look at the social-political dimensions of seeing:

1. Consciousness bias: A person’s level of consciousness makes seeing some things possible and others impossible. Our brains see from a location.
2. Competency bias: We are incompetent at knowing how incompetent or competent we are, so we may see less or more than we think. Our brains prefer to think of ourselves as above average.
