These days, it seems like there's more arguing over what counts as a "fact" and what counts as an "opinion" than should ever be necessary. Well, we have bad news. The trouble doesn't start with "fake news" — it starts in your brain.
Your Biased Brain
We already know that your interpretation of facts can vary wildly depending on your beliefs. Confirmation bias and the backfire effect are always going to shape the way you interact with your world. But according to a new report on a phenomenon known as involuntary opinion confirmation, you might have a hard time sorting out the facts in the first place. That's because when your brain is exposed to an opinion it agrees with, it automatically slips it into the "facts" folder of your mental filing cabinet.

Only your opinion is the lowest sign of intelligence if you can't share a open minded opinion or fact rather withdraw your statement

Get the Evans Opinion mug.What overly-sensitive people say when somebody says the truth about their bad taste or calls something out for what it is. Even when you give them the facts, they'll still just complain how "everybody should respect their opinion", somehow trying to convince themselves that their opinion is the truth when it clearly isn't. Usually these people are under the age of 19, and you can find them mostly on the internet, (because they're too chicken to argue with you in person.)
Luke: I think Kanye West is a top 5 rapper of all time
Bill: Dude, he's not. There's no way Kanye is a top 5 rapper of all time, you'd have to be pretty stupid to believe something like that. Kanye doesn't even write his own lyrics, so he can't be the best.
Luke: Damn, can't you just respect my opinion? I think Kanye is a top 5 rapper of all time, it's my opinion! I don't care if you don't like it, it's my opinion!
Bill: Yes, but that doesn't make it correct and it doesn't make Kanye being a top 5 rapper any closer to the truth. So if it helps you sleep at night cool, but at the end of the day it's factually incorrect.
