My data was based upon the U.S. only.
I still recall the day I met Beaker from the Muppets. He said to me "Meep, meep, mee mee mee Meep!", and that has made all the difference.

So confirmation bias in many ways supports my point, if the message is not clear then it strengthens the person's intrinsic beliefs. And the idea of confirmation bias predates Cialdini's work.

Thanks for clarifying. I gathered that, after seeing your human population number.
I was talking globally and put up global numbers for information, because you had said, emphasis my own: Quote:

The catch in all this: plants are sentient, too Picking a tomato does not kill the tomato plant, nor does eating an orange require an orange tree to be slaughtered. Part of becoming vegan is the realization that something does not have to die for you to live. Quote:
if everyone became vegetarian, what would we do with all the livestock? Most of it would never exist in nature, do you know what a "rape rack" is?? Cows only produce milk when they are pregnant so they are tied to rape racks and forcefully impregnated. -JoeJoe

So... you're saying we should turn all the livestock into sex slaves?
I'm so confused right now...

Ultimately everybody wants to eat ambrosia. Every rock wants to be a plant, every plant wants to be an animal, every animal wants to be human, every human wants to be a god and lesser gods want to be greater gods and so on ad infinitum.
If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

In sticking to the part of the definition most germaine to this conversation I have demonstrated another part of the definition, which is best described as "cherry-picking." So you really can reduce that aspect of confirmation bias in others by presenting your information in a complete and accurate fashion, as I just didn't. Perhaps of equal or greater importance is attempting to be aware of our own biases. Such as knowing that I am biased toward veganism because I are one. To this end we can then try to find a way to account for this in our interpretations. And in a totally non-scientific or pedantic way, my opinion on doing this in our daily lives is just to learn to be interested in and curious about people. All kinds of people. It really makes life more fun, in my experience.

I was trying to add something, but, you see...
I'll put it here, then. The fruit/vegetable itself is taken, though. It would be anyway by others and only remain edible for so long, I suppose. I thought about salmon that way for a little while- the way grizzlies take them as they're nearing the end of their days here. I was wondering if the red salmon advertised for human consumption is at a similar life stage, but I've been told otherwise. Quote:

Not confusing if you know a little about lactation. |

A few people here have used the term "cooking meat properly" which I reject. Meat is cooked properly if it's done the way you like it. For example, I like well roasted lamb (those crispy bits are bliss) and yet I prefer medium rare fillet or sirloin steak. I also like my steak slow cooked in a mushroom and mustard sauce, sometimes brushed with olive oil and black pepper prior to frying, sometimes fried in truffle oil. Which of those cooking methods are "proper"?, answer - all of them.

The key isn't in interpretation, it's in what information you accept and what information you discard. A person suffering from confirmation bias will accept clear, compelling, concrete information that supports his position and discard (i.e., ignore) clear, compelling, concrete information that undermines his position, often by trying to discredit the source.

Darned misspellings. Can't catch 'em all.
https://www.sciencedaily.com/terms/confirmation_bias.htm "Confirmation bias suggests that we don’t *perceive* circumstances objectively." Dictionary.com: "confirmation bias [kon-fer-mey-shuhn bahy-uhs] Word Origin noun Psychology.bias that results from the tendency toprocess and analyze information in such away that it supports one’s preexisting odeas and convictions." Oxford dictionary: "The tendency to *interpret* new information as confirmation of one's existing beliefs or theories." This is getting pretty off-topic with the semantics. Not that it's not super fun.

Where you moved the goalposts is that I referenced the "weak evidence effect" and then someone else brought up "confirmation bias." I spoke of how the two can both be true and then you decided we were only talking about confirmation bias. Both are valid theories so it's not a stretch to extrapolate a connection between the two.
And if you need more support for this then read up on the "synergistic effect." Let me know if this isn't fun. It's just the internet so it should be fun.
