If you are interested in cognitive biases you will like to read David Kahneman's Thing Fast and Slow. Should be an investors guide.

I started reading then skimmed. The article is totally biased in favor of mask wearing. It starts with the premise that mask wearing is a good thing and anyone who refuses to do it is denying it and uses the study of cognitive dissonance to explain the author’s preexisting convictions about masks.

“ And when the facts clash with their preexisting convictions, some people would sooner jeopardize their health and everyone else’s than accept new information or admit to being wrong.”

Jeopardize their health and “everyone else’s?”

A totally flawed article using good science about cognitive dissonance to advance a preconceived idea.

Whatever. I’ll retreat back to my Covid-19 clouded hovel.
