The Duchess knew it in the 19th century already: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. 😜

My mind isn’t blown — it’s actually kind of comforting in a told-you-so kind of way. Or rather told-me-so. I’ve been an amateur student of biases for years. As such, I’ve been more than averagely aware of some of the sources of my systematic mistakes. And yet I continue to repeat them. I’ve long theorised that this is because biases are formed much deeper in our mental subsystems than the conscious top layer. Nice to be able to point to some proof! Thank you for highlighting it.
