Part A) Hindsight bias-
When watching ESPN the other day, there was a segment on redrafting the NFL draft from 2008 using the information that we have now on the players. By doing this they showed some hindsight bias by using only information on the players they have now, disregarding certain scenarios that wouldn't have happened back in the day.
Part B) By using intuition to answer important moral and ethical decisions, people are able to use their gut feeling on tough decisions while using their prior experience and knowledge while considering theses decisions.
Part C)
In my opinion, knowledge does carry an ethical responsibility because in many cases that knowledge will be good information for other people. One example of knowledge carrying ethical responsibility is when scientists make groundbreaking discoveries. By warning people over the threat of ebola in Africa they are sharing their knowledge with the rest of the people to ensure their safety from the disease, while ensuring steps are taken so it does not spread.
