Cognitive biases in context

Hard evidences

For causalism, contextualism, connectionism, behaviorism, etc.
Against universalism, nativism, innatism, cognitivism, etc.

Illusion everywhere! The background is a colour gradient and progresses from dark grey to light grey. The horizontal bar appears to progress from light grey to dark grey, but is in fact just one colour!

Symbolic biases

Antinomy or self-contradiction

A equals to B. 
A varies from B.

↑ The cognitive bias or partiality may be inborn as well as rationality.

"This is not a pipe," precisely, as the image is not the real-life or what is imaged, or as "the map is not the territory" as Alfred Korzybski's dictum (1933) reads. Nevertheless, to say "This is a pipe" may mean to say concisely "This is an image of a pipe."
It is wise to properly interpret and understand what is poorly or even contradictorily said. Man is an animal as well as not an animal, as most may understand. Noteworthy above all, then, may be the partiality of symbolism as well as of idealism or cognition, the illusion of which is illustrated above. Perhaps neither thinking nor talking without partiality, perspective, or point of view, which may be both blessing and curse indeed in practice or in effect.

Notes

↑ In this illusion, the coloured regions appear rather different, roughly orange and brown. In fact they are the same colour, and in identical immediate surrounds, but the brain changes its assumption about colour due to the global interpretation of the surrounding image. Also, the white tiles that are shadowed are the same colour as the grey tiles outside the shadow.
↑ This is known as the checker shadow illusion, aka, same color illusion.
↑ This antinomy occurs when the relationship of A and B of the above checker shadow illusion, that is, a cognitive bias is narrated or symbolised. It may be too hard for symbolism to overcome the bias or partiality of idealism.

In ... "Ceci n'est pas" works, Magritte points out that no matter how closely, through realism-art, we come to depicting an item accurately, we never do catch the item itself. -- An excerpt from René Magritte.
