Re: What was your assigned reading in HS?

Ah yes, that is kinda funny! I just had an encounter the other day similar to that where I had to defend myself and I think I projected a bit heh. It's always struck me as funny that people get surprised about something like that - if anything, being trained in reading lit should in theory make you more inclined to be unbiased, not less. Or anyone who's trained in critical thinking of some sort or another, really.

Yeah, I bet they have that reaction because they've met so many people who simply use what they've learned to bolster their own opinions instead of actually thinking and considering them. I don't know. I do know that in order for one of my professors to get published* he had to take out some factual evidence about how not all of Freud's theories are correct in order to get a panel to pass it because one of the people on the panel was a Freudian.

Goes to show you that even the most critical minds can have biases that don't always help them make the best decisions.

*It was a literary paper, not a psych paper.

Oh man, that's just idiotic, I hate that kind of thing. People with biases like that are so frustrating.

Yup. That's life though. On the bright side, mostly my professor was just surprised there were and Freudians left. I think he got a kick out of that.
