MOC: [[Critical Thinking]] On the feature-positive effect see Ahrens 2017, p. 114. *** We humans tend to take recent and immediately available information for more relevant, while it's not necessarily the case. In case we think an information valuable, we should always check into our note-taking system for contradictory information and review older notes as well. A lack of complementary information would mean we either discovered something groundbreaking (unlikely) or that some gaps exist in our external thinking system. These gaps need to be filled by consuming complementary information to contradict, reinforce or nuance our new piece of knowledge. ![[How I got scammed]]
