Opinions, probably everybody has opinions. I really don’t know if this is really true for the simple reason that I do not know everybody. This makes sense doesn’t it? Or, is it merely just another opinion? Perhaps, I do not need to know everybody to make this claim? Perhaps Statistical Analysis is good enough, but it is only an informed guess, a guess that uses math in a certain kind of way within certain guidelines to enable people to be more certain about the findings that may support their guesses. I am certain about this, and I did not even use Statistical Analysis. I used experience gained from many decades of thinking about this opinion stuff. Do you agree or not? Based on what, your opinion? Opinions lead to a lot of questions. —RLN

One of the problems with holding firm opinions is that people who hold them generally look at only the arguments that confirm them. People generally reject any arguments, or opinions, that reject their strongly held opinions> They simply submit to confirmation bias. I love confirmation bias because it simplified the art of knowing. I have a bias for this. Enjoying a bias of a bias makes me doubly certain that I am right, right? Unless of course I have a bias for the truth. Sir Francis Bacon, not the short order cook down the street, wrote about the complexities of the Problem of Opinion. He referred to it as “predetermination”. It is an informed kind of bias very common in politics. —RLN
