Linkpost: A model of biases as arising from meta-beliefs

There are hundreds of documented cognitive biases, but new research suggests that many of them load onto just a handful of meta-beliefs such as:

  • I make correct assessments of the world

  • I am good

  • My group is a reasonable reference point

  • My group and its members are good
