Ha! So true. I’ve yet to meet a single individual repeatedly mention their “logic” and “unbiased analysis” without basking in utter self-satisfaction over it.
- beobab 8y agoDo you ever fall into the same trap yourself? Everyone (hyperbole) thinks that they are unbiased, but it’s rare to find someone who actually is.
- bloak 8y agoThere's no way of measuring this kind of "bias", as far as I know. I get the impression it's a bogus concept.
- pjc50 8y agoRealistically it is far better to own your biases; they are ineradicable, and often fundamental to your personality, taste, relationships and values. But you should know what they are so you don't get led too far astray by them.
