Overcoming Bias

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."
