We contruct our own experience, and we live inside this contruction. Biases are influenced by our motivations, which can alter the information we pay attention to, the information we dredge up from our memories, and the meaning that we read into our experiences. If you are hungry and walking down the strret you will notice all the food tands instead of other things. Biases can come from motivations, along with incognitive expectations.
