Overcoming Bias

By The Daily Dish

Jacobs:

"I find very appealing the idea of a group blog dedicated to isolating and (if possible) rooting out the habits of mind that cause us to misunderstand the world. But after much careful scrutiny I have discovered that the bias that needs to be overcome is always always bias exhibited by other people. Especially religious people and conservatives, and sometimes those who like poetry. I'd love to find a site where bloggers dedicated themselves to overcoming their own biases, but in the meantime: Delete."
