The folks who most need to read this probably won't think it applies to
them.

I was talking to a friend about this a few nights ago, as we were
discussing the comments on an article. This isn't about any one person
or any one comment. It's about a general trend I see - and have long
seen - in the preparedness world.

Situational bias is a cognitive bias that can cause some people to
believe that their unique skills, level of preparedness, or location
make them immune to the disasters that may befall others.

Be honest...is it possible that you might be suffering from this bias
yourself?

I don't write this to be discouraging or critical. I write it because I
see the same kind of cognitive bias within our own community that we
accuse people outside of our community of having. Living a prepared
lifestyle, knowing how to survive in multiple environments, and having
ninja skills all make you a lot harder to victimize. But believing
yourself impervious leaves a dangerous blind spot that is, in the end,
what makes you vulnerable.

The problem with writing articles like this is that the folks who need
most to absorb it are the ones who will argue most fervently.

I'd love to get your thoughts in the comments.
