I’m not sure if this deserves its own article, so I’m posting it here: What would be an interesting cognitive bias / debiasing technique to cover in a [Pecha kucha] (http://www.pecha-kucha.org/what) style presentation for a college writing class?
Given the format, it should be fairly easy to explain(I have less time than advertised, only 15 slides instead of 20!) So far, I’ve thought about doing the planning fallacy, representativeness heuristic or the disjunction fallacy. All three are ones I can already speak casually about and don’t leap out at me as empowering motivated cognition (...a topic which would empower it, huh)
I would personally like to do Bayes Theorem, but I can’t 1) Think of a way to compress it down to five minutes 2) Can’t think of ways for other people to help compress it down to five minutes without also omitting the math.
Downvote if this is off topic. If not, please tell me why because I’ll just assume it’s an offtopic downvote!
