One of the biases he’s most linked with is the endowment effect, which leads us to place an irrationally high value on our possessions.

Confirmation bias plays out in lots of other circumstances, sometimes with terrible consequences. To quote the 2005 report to the president on the lead-up to the Iraq War: “When confronted with evidence that indicated Iraq did not have [weapons of mass destruction], analysts tended to discount such information. Rather than weighing the evidence independently, analysts accepted information that fit the prevailing theory and rejected information that contradicted it.”

And in Moscow, tens of thousands of cameras with facial-recognition features were supposedly installed to track contagion,

democracies will have to strike a balance between scientific expertise and political sensitivities, a skill that will prove useful beyond the current pandemic in addressing the climate crisis

Faced with the difficult task of making life-and-death health decisions in an era of high uncertainty given the novelty of the virus, most governments set up teams of health advisors whose counsel partly shielded them from criticism.
