bias
You believe you are less biased than your peers.
People consistently rate themselves as less susceptible to cognitive biases than the average person.
Research shows that even when people are educated on specific biases, they fail to recognize these influences in their own judgment. They view others' errors as evidence of deep-seated bias while attributing their own mistakes to rational thinking. You are the only person whose lens you cannot see through.
You see the world through a filter you deny exists.
