The 5yo has been watching Pokemon anime by the ton. I’m picturing something with similar production values featuring the CFAR trials. A wise old fellow who seems to know just everything. People catch GREAT BIG Cognitive Biases out in the wild, then put these Cognitive Biases into training to evolve them smaller and smaller. RationalWiki guest-star as Team Rocket. It’ll be huge.
This would be cute, except you’d have to catch the biases in a dreamscape/mindscape of some kind, not in the “wild”. (Why would you want to retrieve them, even for shrinking, unless they were already inside your head?)
‘Arguments are soldiers’ and ‘reason is for persuasion’; hence, you obviously use biasemons on your opponents to make them make bad decisions and believe wrong things.
(It’s not any more malicious than enslaving wild animals and making them fight until they are knocked unconscious by the trauma...)

Because biases are so much easier to identify in other people, of course.
