Yes but supplanted with my extensive and ongoing science/rationality/logic/skepticism education, I have an in depth understanding of cognitive biases. We can talk specific cases all day because the DSM triples in volume with each edition.

There's a point where objectivity is not evolutionarily wise, so we come prepackaged to being predisposed to cognitive biases on a huge level. I'm talking running away from bears and **** here. That alone is a reason to not trust your own self, since society has stripped many of those problems that those biases combated in the first place.
