.com word of the day is bias

[Thinasadime]

Check your bias!

If you are unaware/not mindful of your own bias:
It will make you dumb
It will make you more susceptible to manipulation
It will make you more vulnerable to misinformation and its effects
It will make it IMPOSSIBLE to debate/prove your argument

Stay vigilant, protect yourself, don’t blindly follow

Be aware of what you stand for and be aware of your bias, do not always assume you are right

Be open-minded, nobody is forcing you to agree, just listen

theres no point listening to his viewpoint as it is objectively wrong

Okay but how will you form an opinion on it without hearing it in the first place

Humans out of nature are biased, there’s nothing wrong with that itself but you have to keep it in mind when talking to others or reading sources

Checking your own bias is a professional standard in research

yeah there are “objective truths” but just because the earth is round doesn’t mean a flat earther will believe that, yk?

some people are just very skeptical empirically


Like how would you objectively prove pedophillia is bad (I’m not in favor of it
personally)

Yea I am tired of trying to argue with people who cannot make a valid argument or attempt to understand me without some ad hominem bullshit

esp when there’s a pretty good chance that they could make a fully just claim

Yea i totally feel you, words from the wise: “Do not argue with a fool, they’ll drag you down to their level and beat u with experience”. simply engaging in ts stupidity gonna put fuel to the fire and unfortunately once the fire gets going, it won’t stop

I am not claiming it is inherently bad to have bias, but that it is bad to not know that you are biased because it can skew you decision making and mental growth (kind of like creating a never ending cycle of one belief, only researching outcomes you agree with, maintaining said belief with no further research)

I really like this article:

Understanding your biases

Two WashU researchers who conduct studies on bias and its impacts, Calvin Lai and Clara Wilkins, explain the roots and consequences of bias and how we can potentially reduce it.
