"Sharing Loaded Fries"
I've been on an outing with my local camera club today to Alcester Food Festival.
I'm not that experienced at street photography. Here I'm trying to capture the story of the woman sharing the loaded fries they have just bought with the boy. I'm trying to create layers. The main subjects in the foreground. The crowd in the middle and the loaded fries stand behind.

una forma sencilla de entender los sesgos de confirmacion podria ser este ejemplo:
supongamos que Juan cree que la tierra es plana, entonces, se da a la tarea de leer, buscar en internet, descargar podcast, ver videos y contactar con gente que tiene esa misma creencia, de tal suerte que todo lo que lee, escucha, ve y la gente con la que interactua refuerza y conirma sus creencias, llegando al grado de considerar que es un hecho, es real y veridico que la tierra es plana, mas rechazara cualquier informacion que demuestre lo contrario o que cuestione esas ideas.
pero... ¿la tierra es plana como afirma Juan? CLARO QUE NO! hay muchisima evidencia que demuestra que no es asi, sin embargo, como Juan esta imbuido dentro de ese sesgo de confirmacion, el tiene la firme conviccion de que la tierra es plana pues sus contactos y la informacion que busca y recibe le confirman esa idea.
esto mismo puede pasar en politica por ejemplo, donde la persona se volvera fiel convencido de un partido politico, un presidente, candidato o de una cierta ideologia, por el sesgo de confirmacion, esa persona rechazara en automatico cualquier cuestion o evidencia contraria a lo que dice ese politico o ese partido o ese tipo de ideologia, quedando con una optica unilateral, si esto lo miramos desde una poblacion de un pais, la cosa es aun peor, ya que la gente estara dividida, fraccionada o segmentada por sus propios sesgos de confirmacion.
uno de los peligros de caer en un sesgo de confirmacion, es el hecho que gradualmente la gente se volvera mas radical, no solo rechazando aquello que cuestione o es distinto a su forma de pensar y creer, sino tomando acciones en contra de eso que no va con sus lineamientos, llegando incluso a la agresion fisica y verbal.
si hablamos de salud, el sesgo de confirmaicon tambien es un peligro, ya que al tener la firme conviccion de que tal remedio es eficaz contra algun padecimiento o enfermedad aun sin evidencia que lo sostenga, puede causar daños irreversibles tanto a su propia persona como a sus allegados, causando incluso la muerte.
gracias al internet y las redes sociales (sobre todo las privativas como facebook, x, instagram, etc), los sesgos de confirmacion han aumentado, si a eso sumamos ciertos algoritmos que tienen redes privativas como facebook o twitter que nos sugieren contactos, paginas y videos de acuerdo a lo que comentamos y publicamos, el sesgo aumenta exponencialmente.
Una buena medida para evitar el sesgo de confirmacion, es convivir y conversar con personas de ideas y convicciones distintas a las nuestras con el objetivo de comprender y entender las demas posturas, las demas ideas o creencias, ampliando asi nuestro panorama y viendo que no todo es como nosotros pensamos que es (por eso considero a mastodon una red social más sana que otras, ya que permite la convivencia e interacción con gente diversa en cuanto a pensamiento, creencias y estilo de vida), para romper un sesgo de confirmacion se debe mentalizar que si una creencia o postura o idea esta equivocada, se debe cambiar y avanzar, no ser terco en querer quedarse en las mismas convicciones que teniamos antes de que nos mostraran informacion o evidencias que refuten lo que sabiamos.

La imagen muestra un diagrama de Venn con dos círculos, uno rojo y otro amarillo, que se intersectan en un área naranja. El círculo rojo está etiquetado con "REALIDAD" y el círculo amarillo con "TUS CREENCÍAS". En la parte superior, hay un texto que dice "Lo que coincide: lo que ves". Una flecha roja apunta desde la intersección hacia el texto, indicando que la parte que coincide entre la realidad y las creencias es lo que vemos. El fondo es blanco, lo que hace que los colores de los círculos y el texto sean prominentes.

La imagen es una ilustración en blanco y negro que muestra a dos personajes humanos en un debate. Ambos personajes están de pie y apuntan con el dedo hacia un símbolo grande en el suelo que parece ser un signo de dólar ($). El personaje de la izquierda tiene un círculo con el número "6" en su burbuja de diálogo, mientras que el personaje de la derecha tiene un círculo con el número "9". Ambos personajes parecen estar discutiendo sobre el símbolo en el suelo, con expresiones faciales que sugieren un debate o confrontación. La ilustración es sencilla y utiliza líneas gruesas para definir los personajes y el símbolo, sin detalles adicionales en el fondo.

La imagen presenta un diseño gráfico con un fondo blanco y negro. En el centro, se muestra la silueta de un perfil humano, con dos figuras estilizadas que parecen estar en un intercambio de ideas, con signos de confusión o conflicto alrededor de sus cabezas. El texto principal en la imagen dice "Sesgo de Confirmación" y describe cómo este sesgo nos lleva a seleccionar información que confirma nuestras ideas y a menospreciar lo que va en contra, lo que puede llevar a la pérdida de objetividad, pensamiento crítico, a no escuchar y a convertirse en "borregos". En la parte inferior, se menciona "Sesgos cognitivos" y "Filmoterapia". Un símbolo de advertencia rojo con un signo de exclamación destaca la importancia de la información.

The image shows a seafood display in a store, with various types of fish packaged and labeled. The top shelf features several dark-colored fish, likely mackerel, packaged in clear plastic with labels. Below, there are rows of fish, including red snapper and other species, also in clear plastic packaging. The fish are neatly arranged on trays, with price tags visible. The display includes signage in Japanese, with one sign reading "鮮魚" (fresh fish) and another promoting "国産の鮮魚" (domestically produced fresh fish). The floor is tiled, and a person's legs are visible, wearing plaid pants and dark shoes, standing in front of the display. The overall scene is well-lit, highlighting the freshness of the seafood.

Geopolitical Drama: India’s Economic Boycott of Turkey
Okay, let’s play a riff. India is having a temper tantrum, and Turkey is the target. Turkey made five “smart moves” when it teamed up with Pakistan over drones. Drones! The ones that probably didn’t cost as much as a Bollywood hit but are powerful enough in a symbolic way to make people in New Delhi scream. India is responding by breaking contracts, not buying marble, and even not buying Turkish apples. Fruits! It looks like that will make Erdogan shake in his apartment in Ankara. Does it hurt Turkey? Hint: Probably not much. But let’s take this geopolitical soap play one sip at a time and laugh along the way.
First, the context. Turkey’s been supplying Pakistan with shiny toys—drones, specifically, like the Bayraktar TB2s that turned heads in Ukraine. Cheap, effective, and a middle finger to India’s regional flexing. Pakistan’s like, “Sweet, we’ll take a dozen,” and India’s like, “Oh, hell no.” Cue India’s retaliation, which sounds like a playlist curated by a pissed-off diplomat. They’ve revoked Celebi’s airport license—some Turkish company handling ground services at Delhi’s airport. Poof, gone. Then they axed a $2.5 billion navy deal. Ouch, right? Except Turkey’s defense industry isn’t exactly banking on India’s pocket change. They’re selling drones to half the globe—Poland, Ethiopia, Azerbaijan. India’s just one customer in a long line.
Next, the boycotts. Marble and apples. Marble’s a weird one. Turkey’s a big player—exported $2.7 billion worth in 2024, and India’s a decent chunk of that. But a boycott? Good luck enforcing it. Indian builders aren’t gonna stop buying because Modi waved a flag. They’ll find a workaround, or China’s ready to swoop in with knockoff slabs. Apples are even dumber. Turkey exports maybe $100 million in fruit annually. India’s not their top buyer—Russia and Iraq are. If India swaps Turkish apples for, say, Washington’s, Turkey’s farmers might shrug, not starve. This is less “sharp move” and more “petty jab.”
Then there’s the travel advisory. India’s telling its tourists to skip Istanbul’s bazaars. Cute. Except Indian tourists aren’t exactly Turkey’s economic backbone. In 2024, Turkey hosted 42 million visitors—Russians, Germans, Brits. Indians? Maybe 200,000 tops. If they stay home, Antalya’s beaches won’t notice. And finally, Jamia Millia Islamia, some university, suspended MoUs with Turkish institutions. Academic middle finger. Impact? Zero. Nobody’s crying over lost exchange students.
So, does this sting Turkey? Nah. Turkey’s economy is a mess—inflation’s at 49% as of April 2025, lira’s in freefall—but India’s moves aren’t the dagger. Erdogan’s got bigger headaches: Syria’s chaos, EU’s sanctions threats, and his own opposition screaming for his head. India’s $2.5 billion navy deal cancellation might bruise, but Turkey’s defense exports hit $5.5 billion last year. They’ll pivot. They always do. As one Turkish analyst on X smirked, “India’s boycott is like a mosquito bite. Annoying, not fatal.”
But let’s not kid ourselves—India’s not doing this to tank Turkey’s GDP. It’s theater. Modi’s playing to the home crowd, flexing for voters who love a good “India First” rally. Turkey’s just a convenient villain. Why? Because Turkey’s been needling India for years—backing Pakistan on Kashmir, cozying up to China, and now this drone nonsense. India’s saying, “We see you, and we’re not your doormat.” It’s less about hurting Turkey and more about signaling to Pakistan: “Your buddy’s not untouchable.” Geopolitics is high school drama with bigger budgets.
Time to tangent. Did you ever notice that the same people are always involved in these fights? Pakistan, India, China, Turkey, and maybe Iran if they want to get hot. It’s like a bad family gathering where everyone is arguing over the same patch of grass. Kashmir is the treasure that no one can agree on, and drones are the newest thing that people are arguing over. At the same time, the US is drinking tea and acting like it’s not involved while selling $3 billion worth of Predator drones to India. Hypocrisy? Yes. That’s just how the game is.
Back to Turkey. Could India’s moves ripple? Maybe. If other countries—say, Gulf states—start side-eyeing Turkey’s drone deals, that’s trouble. The UAE and Saudi Arabia are big buyers, and they’re not exactly Pakistan’s BFFs. But that’s a big if. Turkey’s drones are too cheap and too good. Plus, Erdogan’s a cockroach—survives everything. He’ll spin this as “India’s bullying us!” and rally his base. Classic playbook.
India’s not dumb, though. They know this won’t cripple Turkey. It’s about optics, not economics. Modi’s got elections to win, and nothing screams “strong leader” like slapping a rival. But let’s be real: boycotting apples? That’s not strategy; that’s a meme. Turkey’ll keep selling drones, India’ll keep fuming, and Pakistan’ll keep smirking. Round and round we go.
One word: Exaggerated.
If India wants to hit Turkey harder, they’d need to go nuclear—sanctions, WTO complaints, or rallying allies to isolate Ankara. But that’s risky. Turkey’s in NATO, and the US isn’t gonna let India turn this into a bigger fire. So, we’re stuck with half-measures and Twitter rants. Will Turkey feel it? A pinch, maybe. But they’re not losing sleep. India’s bold? Sure. Effective? Meh.

La imagen muestra a un hombre vestido con una túnica verde y un manto azul, sosteniendo un bastón de madera en su mano izquierda. Lleva un sombrero de ala ancha y tiene una barba y bigote. Está de pie en un bosque con abundante vegetación, con rayos de sol filtrándose a través de las copas de los árboles, creando un ambiente mágico y natural. El hombre está señalando con su mano derecha, como si estuviera apuntando a algo o a alguien. La escena evoca una sensación de aventura y magia, con un fondo de árboles y vegetación verde que sugiere un entorno boscoso.
