Now, let me elaborate on this a bit.In essence, it boils down to cognitive dissonance (that's the core of the book's philosophy). The idea is that people don't like dissonance and will do anything to end the discomfort brought about by the conflict, from reinterpretation of events to rewriting their own memories.

I know the book can't help Crissa. She's too stupid to understand the book in the first place.Kaelik wrote:Zine, none of that has anything to do with whether or not it's rational to in fact not read a book about cognitive biases.
Hell, you attempted to demonstrate one half of Crissa's premises right there. She does exibit cognitive biases. Now if you also accept the premise that she knew about that cognitive bias, which was in a post right above hers, then you have a complete sound argument for the rationality of not reading the book.
