Everyone thinks they have “a bias towards reality”. I have yet to see this actually be true!

Everyone has biases, whether conscious or unconscious, and trying to claim otherwise is a massive red flag on its own IMO.

ok fine. i prefer a bias towards not enslaving and/or eliminating an entire population because of religious/racial/cultural differences.

Is this an argument for sophistry or propaganda? Everyone having biases doesn't preclude people from rightly pointing out bad things in the world, like creeping authoritarianism and the undermining of democracies, anymore than it did in the lead up to WW2.
