Anchoring

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anchoring

Are there any drugs that can affect this?

Bump, what I mean is, is there any drugs that affect your brains ability to anchor things?

I would think that the brain plasticity increase that psychedelics have been shown to generate can do a lot to decrease the tendency to resort to preconceived notions.  I would suspect that drugs like cocaine that feed the ego and make one more self-confident might have a tendency to make you dig your heels in and operate from your initial point of view.  I don't think there's been any studies so any info you get is going to be speculative in nature.  :shrug:

From the article you posted:

"Difficulty of avoiding anchoring
Various studies have shown that anchoring is very difficult to avoid. For example, in one study students were given anchors that were obviously wrong. They were asked whether Mahatma Gandhi died before or after age 9, or before or after age 140. Clearly neither of these anchors can be correct, but the two groups still guessed significantly differently (average age of 50 vs. average age of 67).

Other studies have tried to eliminate anchoring much more directly. In a study exploring the causes and properties of anchoring, participants were exposed to an anchor and asked to guess how many physicians were listed in the local phone book. In addition, they were explicitly informed that anchoring would "contaminate" their responses, and that they should do their best to correct for that. A control group received no anchor and no explanation. Regardless of how they were informed and whether they were informed correctly, all of the experimental groups reported higher estimates than the control group. Thus, despite being expressly aware of the anchoring effect, participants were still unable to avoid it. A later study found that even when offered monetary incentives, people are unable to effectively adjust from an anchor."

So, it seems to be unavoidable, at least insofar as we know from scientific inquiry.

Do you have a particular goal in mind?

Whenever my brain tries to anchor to something, it feels like it has like, tunnel-vision or something.  And it of the time it feels like there are a lot of anchor points in the same spot making things feel paradoxical.
