Confirmation Bias

QUESTION to Martin Armstrong:

Hi Marty,

I’ve been reading a lot of climate studies lately, and as someone who has generally trusted the scientific consensus, I was quite surprised to find how unscientific the anthropogenic theory is. It seems to be an assumption more than anything, as very few scientists seem to be investigating other possibilities. I spent a couple of years in university studying biology before I realized what a waste of money it all was. During my time there I developed a suspicion that much of modern science is driven by confirmation bias, and this, unfortunately, seems to add fuel to that fire.

Although I did not find anything conclusive in my research to confirm this hypothesis, it seems as though we are headed into a period of global cooling. During the cooling in the 70s, Atlantic Multidecadal and Pacific Decadal oscillating waves were in sync, rather briefly in the grand scheme of climate cycles, while moving downwards. This is projected to occur in the next 10 years. In addition, solar induction cycles seem to indicate we are due for the end of this interglacial, and both Antarctic sea ice, as well as the Jacobshavn glacier recently, are growing. I have noticed that this corroborates Socrates’ prediction of a major economic contraction in the near future. Economic contractions historically seem to occur during times of global cooling, although I have not dismissed the possibility that this is a coincidence.

Are you or Socrates able to provide any insight into this phenomenon? I have not been able to locate much information, any you are able to share would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
HK

Yes, this is very clear in economic analysis. Take Thomas Picketty and Klaus Schwab. They are really Marxists at heart. Therefore, all their research begins with a predetermined conclusion. The same is indeed taking place in climate change. Confirmation bias takes place from the direct influence of desire on beliefs. Julius Caesar even said back then that people believe what they want to believe. When people would like a certain idea or concept to be true, they end up believing it to be true. They are motivated by wishful thinking. This error leads the individual to stop gathering information when the evidence gathered so far confirms the views or prejudices one would like to be true. Even this manufactured pandemic. They have been putting in the news how many cases rising dramatically, but not the deaths. They have so terrorized people they simply believe what they want to believe.

They know this basic principle so they use it against the people. This is why there will NEVER be a return to normal. The multitude of the sheep will no longer shake hands, keep their distance, and look at everyone as some sort of threat.
