Yeah, I don't know. When I made the OP, I was thinking more in terms of the world view, in which the ego is the central nexus to which all other ideas must necessarily connect, which would mean that almost all inquisitive acts would suffer from some kind of bias. But certainly in Buddhist philosophy, the wanting self is something that is considered paradoxical: the self is defined by the wanting, and the wanting causes the self suffering.
