Confirmation Bias from Fort by Chris Harris
In which our hero begins to suspect that what is going on has more to do with the workings of the human mind than it does supernatural entities or extraterrestrial visitors.
To find more about the ways our minds work against us, look no further than the excellent "Thinking, Fast and Slow" by Daniel Kahneman. Dr Kahneman won a Nobel Prize for his work in this field, so he knows what he's writing about.

Lyrics
The less that you consider it
the more you think it's true
Knowing that you're right
is just a thing that humans do
We like to think we're special
we like to think we're strong
The last thing we'll admit to
is the chance we might be wrong
Bias is more dangerous
in those of high renown
The more they're told they're incorrect
the more they double down
Arguments aren't rational
Confusing lies with truth
And nobody concedes a fault
confronted with the truth
Don't confuse a quest for truth
with something more unkind
You need to be prepared to be
prepared to change your mind

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.
