Cognitive feedback loop? Familiarity flim-flam? Fauxx-on-the-box bias?
Photo of older adults with text about cognitive processing: ---- Automatic processing in making judgement? • Processing heuristics: what enable us to make rapid judgments and decisions without much conscious reflection • People even as young as preschoolers prefer to get information from like-minded people and to agree with them, leading to unintentional bias • Brains are wired to take in information in ways that minimize the cognitive workload and that provide reasonable results most of the time • Why do we think this way? Because it's faster and easier

Text: "To be called 'woke' in a world that sleeps through suffering is no insult — it is the Gospel. 'Woke' means awakened by compassion. Guided by truth. Humbled by grace. Committed to justice — not just for some, but for all." —Pope Leo XIV

Text: A lady just came up to me and said, "Speak English, we are in San Diego." So I politely responded by asking her “how do I say 'San Diego' in English?" The look of bewilderment on her face made it feel like a Friday.

Text on a graphical background showing a colorful bird: "In a time of hate, love is an act of resistance. In a time of fear, faith is an act of resistance. In a time of misinformation, education is an act of resistance. In a time of poor leadership, community is an act of resistance. In a time like this, joy is an act of resistance. Resist. Resist. Resist.
