The Ability to Rethink & Reassess Our Minds

In Touch

A Monthly Curated Newsletter

As humans, we often like to think we're right, even when we can be wrong at times. Many of us have the unconscious tendency to seek information that support our existing beliefs & disregard or undermine those that do not match ours. But doing so without awareness or questioning can have adverse effects in the way we think, make decisions & live our lives. Today, I'd like to share with you some potential consequences of confirmation bias & what we can do about them.

Confirmation Bias And the Power of Disconfirming Evidence

An articulate piece that describes how confirmation bias works in various contexts and the power of disconfirming evidence.

Investing and the Danger of Confirmation Bias

Sound advice on how we should be aware of the dangers of confirmation bias in finances and how we can approach investing responsibly.

Joan Tong. Headquarter

It is an honour for myself & Headquarter to be part of the Media/Crowdfunding team for the once-in-a-lifetime GoSpace project. On 31 May 2019, Mr Lim Seng attempted Singapore's maiden journey into space from Alice Springs, Australia. Though the mission had to be aborted prematurely due to depressurization, the Space team was successful in the attempt and managed to attain over 24,000 ft above sea level after 19 minutes of steady ascent. It has been a long time coming and the journey continues. The Space team is not giving up. And so are we. In the photo is Mr Lim Seng, the head & heart behind this treacherous-yet-remarkable mission. Keep your eyes peeled as he sends the first Singaporean to the edge of space!
