A cognitive bias that conceives of non‑scientific beliefs as links in a chain: once you accept one link, you are inevitably bound to the next, eventually being dragged down by the whole chain. Chain Bias is closely related to Domino and Knock‑On biases, but it emphasizes the idea of connection—that all non‑scientific beliefs are secretly linked, so accepting one is accepting the entire system. The bias ignores that people often pick and choose beliefs eclectically, forming their own patchworks of ideas.
Example: “He believed that if you accept the possibility of ESP, you are logically committed to accepting all forms of pseudoscience—Chain Bias confusing correlation in his own mind with necessity in everyone else’s.”
