Bias Blinds
Sometimes ago, a friend of mine expressed, with awe and astonishment, that during the Iranian uprising of 2009, he had witnessed very smart and knowledgeable colleagues support Ahmadinejad. And wondered how it would be possible for someone capable of solving very complex problems in their field of expertise, to not see through the deceptions and…

You Die, So That I Can Dance!

Facts, Opinions, and Misunderstandings
In a previous post from over a year ago, I had tried to highlight the differences between facts and opinions. Even back then, my feeling was that that writeup was mostly redundant and unnecessary, as I assumed pretty much every reasonable person knew the difference. So it came to me as a huge surprise when…
