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."
