Pattern Matching

from Threat Detector by Chris Harris

/

about

Cognitive bias, much?

lyrics

From every programme on the television,
every article we read,
every story on the radio
we take exactly what we need

We don't like a challenge
To the way we see the world

We pay more attention
to the things that we expect
and if your theory does not match our patterns,
we think it's incorrect

When we're exposed to information
that we do not already know
and it does not meet expectations,
then that data has to go

If you're not open to experiment,
and what's unknown makes you afraid
You'll go through life with an impediment
It's not how learning should be played.

Back in the Stone Age, it was useful
it taught us what we need to fear
Now too often it is turned against us,
closing us down to new ideas

Chris Harris Bristol, UK

I'm still trying to get the music I record to sound like the version I can hear in my head. To do this I've ended up playing every instrument I can get my hands on. These days, I'm closer to "That Sound" than I used to be, but the journey continues.
