Fact Biases

Biases in how facts are established, communicated, and trusted. Fact Biases include: treating some domains as factual and others as mere opinion; assuming facts are simple when they're complex; privileging facts that fit narratives; ignoring facts that challenge identity; treating "fact" as a conversation-ender rather than a contribution. Fact Biases are what happen when facts become weapons—used to end discussion rather than enable it.

Fact Biases "It's a fact, so discussion over!" That's Fact Bias—treating facts as endpoints rather than contributions. Facts matter, but they don't settle meaning; they don't determine values; they don't end inquiry. Fact bias is what happens when facts become idols instead of tools. Facts inform; they don't replace thinking."

Fact Metabiases

Second-order biases about facts—how we understand what facts are, how they're established, and how they function. Fact Metabiases include: treating facts as simple when they're complex; assuming facts are independent of theory; believing facts settle value disputes; using "fact" as a conversation-ender; ignoring that facts are always interpreted; treating factual claims as beyond social negotiation. Fact Metabiases turn facts from tools into idols—objects of worship rather than contributions to inquiry.

Fact Metabiases "It's a fact, so discussion over!" That's Fact Metabias—treating facts as endpoints rather than contributions. Facts inform; they don't replace thinking. The metabias is thinking facts speak for themselves when they always need interpretation. Facts are real; metabias is forgetting what facts are for."

Fact Wrecked

When you post a fact online and then the online community posts supporting information about how you are completely wrong.

"He posted the dumbest comment on Facebook. He totally got fact wrecked for being so wrong."

Fact Hecker

A willingly biased operative who is paid to label actual facts as "disinformation" and demand that nobody dare use Critical Thinking to question the approved Settled Science narrative du jour.

Alternately, a willingly biased operative who is paid to label disinformation as "factual" and demand that nobody dare use Critical Thinking to question the approved Settled Science narrative du jour.
