Manifestation vs Confirmation Bias

Practical guidance on manifestation vs confirmation bias: interpretation and selective attention, key boundaries, examples, and useful next steps.

Confirmation bias includes seeking or weighting information in ways that support an existing belief. It can make hits feel more memorable than misses without implying every meaningful experience is false.

A practical way to use this idea

Record predictions before outcomes, count misses as well as hits, and consider at least one alternative explanation.

Worked example: Noticing three coincidences after starting a journal means little without knowing how many non-coincidences occurred.
