Remove Your Blinders - Personal Bias Filtering

[MichSwampbuck]

What I do is psychological research much, and for your information 'all' people have biases to different degrees, so that includes you too. Surprise.

I never made a statement to the contrary. You want to insist that I don't include myself, when I am human and have admitted as much. I won't quote where I stated this, you will merely filter it out.

Your response here is an ad hominem attack, your research must be in another area besides logic.

You cast aspersions while I cast pearls before swine.

See how bias works?

Thank you for illustrating my points so well with such a response. You truly are the poster boy for my bias toward illogical fallacies.

See how that works?  Never mind, a goldfish is severely myoptic.

Your ego needs to be deflated then your eyes will then be able to see properly. ha ha

Okay, bored and tired playing this silly game with you. I will leave you to it, to tell everyone how 'most' people are biased and any other opinion not aligning with yours, then comes the gaslighting with the 'you are paranoid' ploy and 'you are the best example of my point'. ha ha

You really need to get outdoors more.

Incredible how you attack my character and ignore the topic. Let's go though a check list of my character flaws that obviously cause my thesis to be entirely worthless.

• I have an inflated ego.
  
• I believe (most) people don't share my bias and are the ones who are actually bias.
  
• I am gaslighting people by trying to make them question their beliefs about their personal biases.
  
• I am accusing people (one in particular) of being paranoid, even though I never said that.
  
• I also claim you are a good example of my point.
  

I'd really like to see a point-by-point list of quoted statements I made that support this attack on my personal character and how that disproves my argument about bias filtering.

Now that you flew the coop I doubt I will see you address any thing that is actually relevant to the topic at hand. I do expect you to continue until at least page five or six, to make sure you slide another thread of mine into the black hole.

Your attack on me precipitated my defense. So if you are going to blame anyone, blame yourself. I was just asking for confirmation that your intent and context was indeed that you accept that bias is a normal human trait. You ran off on your biased tangent after that.

So you know for the future, your character was shown to me and others through many threads of yours and others, that being, that opposite opinions are not welcome. If you are looking for followers who don't challenge or question you, then DI is not the place for you to be.

You admitted that you implied that you thought I was paranoid, now you are backpeddling. Do better, stop lying.

My first post was on topic and relevant to this thread, but your bias and whatever other problems you have, drove it into the ground.

Keep going, I expect this go on until at least page five. Please don't disappoint me, I'm so delighted by your agitation. Makes my day so much better to see people break down and loose their grip like this.

ETA: I'm off to take care of errands, it will be a few hours, maybe more, to get back to this fun fest I'm having. So please, load it up, and don't spare a bit of dramatic rage while I'm gone.

Your response to my post in post #3 is evidence that your sarcasm is what derailed any chance of a decent discussion. No drama, no agitation, just pointing out the truth for you to hopefully acknowledge.

We can't help but be humans with biases, but we can avoid being a goldfish.

People need to go back to reading books, novels.

The older I get, the better I get at listening.  If the point of a discussion is to learn, that simple act is vital.  If the point of a discussion is to argue, then listening is unimportant.   We can't really argue an opinion, because by definition it is not static, nor factual, but entirely subjective.  It's like arguing which is better -- red or blue.*










*Blue, obviously.
