This brings us to bloggers

[sumaiyakhatun25]

With a few (tens/hundreds) thousand readers, it's easy to come to the conclusion that what we say is important and right. It's hard to be otherwise, since we have evidence of this every day in likes and comments.

Eventually, however, we will come across people who will not agree with our views – this is easy to find on the Internet. We can then enter into a polemic or dismiss our interlocutor out of hand, assuming that he is wrong because he is alone and we have many who support us.

Unfortunately, the second path is easier and, from what I observe, chosen far too often. I am not france rcs data talking about fighting hate – this word has long been used as a label for the dissident. I am talking about deliberately ignoring someone else's position, just to avoid having to ask yourself the problematic question: am I really right?

We are all susceptible to a cognitive bias that makes us look for evidence to confirm our views. In the age of the internet, it is very difficult to resist the temptation to ignore all voices opposing us. The problem is that bloggers are particularly susceptible to this, because they have a much larger group around them that tells them they are right. And they succumb to this bias all too often.
