Practice Listening: Summarize Spoken Text ID: #48773 Medium Believing
Instructions
The world today feels like it's a constant VI-JCA environment, volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous. The shifting landscape, the bombarding of information toward us, and always having to work in sort of a 24/7 environment. This is problematic because we feel like we're all in a collective crisis of attention. So it's very important that we, as citizens of the world, understand what is true, and what is false. A question on my mind these days is what is the role of attention in minimizing truth bias. The truth bias is a bias built into the brain, and it's this notion that comprehending something is equivalent to believing it. That may seem strange, but it ends up that comprehension or ability to understand things is an outgrowth of perception. And just like seeing is believing, comprehending and believing co-occur. So why am I interested in this topic of the truth bias? Because this truth bias may be driving the proliferation of many false narratives. False narratives abound, not just in the United states where I live but around the world, and people are believing them.
