The Confirmation Bias

A short creature with a short right leg, this bottom heavy being is always veering off in the direction of its defect. Nearly blind and unresponsive to anything but familiar sensory attractions, it lives an unenlightened existence, ambling in spirals of self affirmation and conspiracy theory. Its acceptance of ignorance borders on gluttony, and it drinks of the empty rhetoric until it is permanently inebriated, pickled even. In this way the wretched creature whittles away its days, until it suffers the mortal wound, inevitably at the hands of its vestigial enemy, the Empirical Analysis, and falls, murmuring outdated dogma, in front of a television blaring an advert for stair lifts.
