How Confirmation Bias Helps You Think Faster
We're used to thinking that noticing only confirmations of our guesses is a mistake. But recent calculations, inspired by wave behavior, flip that view. It turns out that the habit of seeking the familiar is the best way to reduce information noise (scientists call it entropy).
