The radical epistemological position that all human cognition, without exception, is fundamentally shaped by confirmation bias. It argues that what we call "objective reasoning" is merely a socially-sanctioned, institutionalized form of confirmation bias—one that happens to align with dominant paradigms. From a child learning that fire burns (confirming the hypothesis with each painful touch) to a physicist interpreting particle collisions (seeking confirmation of the Standard Model), the brain is not a neutral truth-finder but a hypothesis-confirming machine. The theory posits that there is no "view from nowhere"; every observation, every logic chain, every mathematical proof is performed by a mind that unconsciously favors its starting assumptions. Thus, confirmation bias isn't a bug in human cognition—it is human cognition.
