For this assignment response to the following with 200 words :

Clifford’s example of the ship owner shows that a person’s belief, no matter how sound they think it to be, can be misguided. It shows that our beliefs can also be very biased and self-serving. The ship owner saw the flaws in his ship, yet he allowed it to undergo a voyage despite these flaws because he believed it would make the trip. He believed this because he wanted it to be true. In that way, our beliefs can be based on our own desires. This idea lines up with the ideas of William James’ in such a way that beliefs based on our own desires can sometimes have no factual evidence to support them. They are solely based on what we think and what we hope. In the case of the ship owner, his belief was based on his hopes. The evidence, which was the condition of the ship itself, pointed to the fact that the ship would not make the journey, but the ship owner chose to believe that it would despite the evidence.
