The [[Dunning Kruger effect]] combined with the [[Confirmation Bias]] reinforces the idea that we see objectively, however, our perceptions are deeply flawed. Evolution has shaped our minds to respond to problems faced by our distant ancestors and coded ancient mental shortcuts ([[heuristics|heuristics)]] which are now getting in the way. To progress, we need to be able to see our errors in the hope to better solve the issues that confront us:

We tend to perceive our inner, subjective reality as a replica of the objective one. However, evolution has shaped human sensory and interpretation systems to guide adaptive action, not to show us the true nature of reality. These interpretation systems contain a range of energy saving heuristics called cognitive biases which commonly exhibit as systematic errors in thinking.
