Our brains aren’t just in charge of processing information. They are also in charge of making the kind of decisions that shape our worlds. These are the kinds of decisions that come with confirmation: that we are right about something, that we have done the right thing, and that we have the tools or resources to change our world.
The confirmation processes are very important. They are the very reason we think, feel, act, and think the way that we do. To make that happen, we use a number of different processes. And the way that we do that, is by putting together a variety of different pieces of what we call “evidence.” The confirmation process is when we look at a piece of evidence and say, “This is good enough evidence to believe that I am right about this.
The process of putting together evidence for confirmation starts with the statement, “I believe that this statement to be true.
The process of put together evidence for confirmation can be broken down into a number of general steps. Let’s take a look at some of the general steps that are at play in this video.
We start with the statement, I believe that this statement is true.
The first step is the claim. To say that we believe something is as a statement means that we believe that the statement is true, not true to be true. So, the claim is, I believe that this statement to be true.To say that we believe something is true to be true means that we believe that the statement is true to be true. That is, we don’t believe that it is false.
The second step is the assertion. To say that we believe something is true to be true means that we are asserting that the statement is true to be true. To assert that something is true to be true is to say that we believe the statement to be true.
The last two steps are pretty much equivalent. To say that we believe something is true to be true, we have to have the second step: make sure we believe the statement is true to be true.
The statement “The sky is blue” is certainly true. The sky is blue. (Or at least, it was blue when we were kids). The statement “The sky is blue” is also true to be true. If we were to assert that the sky is blue, we would be asserting that we believe the statement to be true to be true. Again, if we were to assert that the sky is blue, we would be asserting that we believe it to be true to be true.
To be clear, we are not saying that we believe that the sky is blue. It’s just that we have to believe it to be true to be true to be true.
