In this concise YouTube short, Dr. Wayne Pernell explains how perceptual (confirmation) bias leads us to selectively notice information that confirms our pre‑existing judgments about ourselves and others. He describes how this automatic tuning to expected traits—whether positive or negative—causes us to ignore contradictory evidence, binding us to self‑imposed norms and prompting us to hold others to those same standards. The speaker highlights the problem of this bias and implicitly encourages awareness as the first step toward breaking free from judgmental thinking.
