Free cognitive-bias Agent Skill
Use Berkson’s Paradox as a focused cognitive-bias lens. Explain the pattern, check whether it plausibly fits the situation, surface an alternative non-bias explanation, and return a practical counter-check without diagnosing people or claiming causation.
What the agent should do
Does it seem like successful people are less kind because there aren’t many kind, successful people? That’s Berkson’s Paradox – a logical fallacy where an observed relationship between variables appears due to selection bias, not real causation.
