Just to add to the discussion Alex, research also suggests that we may also have a positivity bias.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31037451/
"Numerous studies on episodic future thinking have demonstrated that individuals perceive their future as more positive and idyllic than their past. It has been suggested that this positivity bias might serve a self-enhancement function."
I guess we just need to make more use of our prefrontal cortex (PFC) which intelligently regulates our thoughts, actions and emotions through extensive connections with other brain regions.
This way we can (hopefully) transcend these other biases.
Cheers
