Answer explanation

In the context of societal intelligence, this can mean that if a person has a negative view of societal intelligence, he or she will tend to look for information that confirms this view and ignore information that contradicts it. This can lead to a biased and incomplete view of reality. On the other hand, if a person is aware of this bias, he or she may make efforts to seek information from different sources and consider different perspectives, which may help him or her to have a more complete and nuanced view of the issue of society's intelligence.
