Interesting, I assume the opposite, that all of my beliefs are biased. Now this is a huge area where I'm biased: I assume that it is better to assume one is biased in all areas, and that this approach leads to less bias (because I'm challenging my assumptions) or leads me to accept certain places where I am biased. Part of the goal is to be detached from the need to feel unbiased: I don't think this is true in all situations, but a belief I have based on observation is that the more that you care that you are unbiased, or the more tied your ego is to being unbiased, the more vulnerable you are to confirmation bias, which creates an interesting paradox. So I guess my approach is, I try not to care too much, and here's maybe the ultimate paradox or logical fallacy: You're values don't have to match reality, and if you try to get reality to match your values you will be super vulnerable to confirmation bias. The obvious version of this is in religion, if you believe that the world is 6000 years old, and seek to prove the world is 6000 years old, you can find lots of evidence to support the idea.
