I don't see anything definitive here that says people can rid themselves of biases. What I see here is that the only thing that really happens is that their bias changes from one PoV to another. We are creatures with a limited grasp of reality. We can only take in so much information because we have not evolved to the point where we can take in all information from our surroundings. And ironically enough, the reason I know people have biases is because I have rid myself of a lot of them. This doesn't mean that I am not otherwise predisposed to bias, however, only that the biases I hold have changed. I might consider changing my mind if you could provide evidence for ridding oneself of bias via brain scan.
Quoting this to show it was my post that got caught in the spam filter and I am not actually crazy.

Either way, not worth worshipping or even acknowledging.
What makes you say that? I see the claim. How do you back it up?
But your individuality and your present need will be swept away by change,
and what you now ardently desire will one day become the object of abhorrence.
