veritassium did this fascinating af video mirroring a study on people's political biases and how it influences reasoning: it seems like the more educated or intelligent you are, the more your biases interfere with your ability to analyze positions that are contrary to your own views and that interference is proportional to your level of education/intelligence and the people who don't have either are able to reason mostly the same whether or not their biases where challenged.
I watched veritassium for a short while, but i can't take them serious with all the click bait. Can you provide a link to the proper study instead?
it's in the description of the video: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2319992
