Which is to say that they are unconscious and automatic. The classic example is an egalitarian male who..nevertheless, associates females with domestic life and on account of this trusts his female coworkers input less.
Quote:How do you recognise bias in you own life? How does one ride themselves of bias? Is it an exercise of will or simply something you learn (free will vs determinism)?Well, for cognitive biases, we have a system. For implicit biases.....we've got next to nothing. This is part of why females couldn;t vote until 1920.
Quote:Is bias a myth? If it is, what is our (your) role in coming to grips with being wrong (or at least incorrect) or not? Can one justify never being wrong from a theoretical standpoint?No.
Quote:What would be required to believe (heh) that one does not have any biases?Cognitive bias, lol.
Quote:Is it easier for you to separate seeing bias in others or yourself more?Cognitive, about the same regardless..implicit is easier to spot in others (and be informed about by others). Outsider test.
Quote:How does our perception tie into our biases?Our biases -are- perceptions.
Quote:Are our tools to measure the universe fallible due to bias? Why or why not?All tools are fallible, bias or no bias..but here you'd be referring to cognitive biases. We have self correcting systems for reducing their presence and effect. I think they're sufficient.
