Confirmation Bias and Schooled In Education

Confirmation Bias

Why can't you understand that your opinion is simply a telescope
Your opinion is a microscope
You dig and dig and search and look for pain
That only confirms your pain and why you're in pain
Powerful instruments of discovery are abused
Because you want to be abused
The world is horrible
The universe is horrible
Because of what you see in that lens
It becomes even smaller because of what you see in that lens
You know what you're looking for
And validation is what you're looking for
So even though you're curious and look everywhere
You look there, you look here, you look beyond, near, everywhere
Did you find what you were looking for?
Can you explain what happened before?
You're looking to magnify what you believe you see
Witness a defect then condemn every organism you see
You feel slighted
You truly feel slighted
But how you feel isn't what is
How you feel isn't how everything is
So keep looking, look
Find what you're looking for, look
Keep focus
Truly focus
I know what you've found
The world and the universe is against you is what you've found

Schooled In Education

You thought you were smart
In fact, you know more than most
You have your degree
Honestly, you are smarter
You followed the rules
You will make more when you learn
How to go to school
What the schooled often don't learn
Is education
