I think the real problem is that human beings are biased and have a very strong negative reaction to things which are actually unbiased.

- dragonwriter 3y agoThere are no such things as things which are “actually unbiased”, since bias is relative to a reference scope and there is no one objectively-favored reference scope. There are things where the bias aligns with someone's intended use, but that will differ from evaluator to evaluator.
- mistermann 3y agoIs "the fine-grained truth is technically not known" biased?
- jug 3y agoYeah this reminds me of the sentiment that a newspaper that manages to regularly upset both the political left and right is probably pretty unbiased, haha.
- dragonwriter 3y agoBias toward political centrism is an ideological bias (which, despite sharing a name, is not the same thing as a representational bias of the type being discussed, though either can explain the other in some cases.)
