The toxicity of human biases is the aim! How toxic are human biases actually or really? Or is this not the typical language of ideologues and demagogues?
One of the human fads or obsessions of our time has become the detection or insinuation of as many as possible biases in our daily lives. Or is this effort part of the political correctness ideology, power, and control?
This has become an orthodoxy among some of the so called intellectuals and elites! Higher education is no guarantee for better common sense!
I am afraid, human nature will make any such efforts very difficult! Even those who proclaim to be against bias often have their own biases and so on.
Certainly, there has been no shortage of human biases over history. Given the slow progress of human mind, biases will continue to be with us for a long time to come.
It has a high probability to lead to totalitarian witch hunts, inquisitions, persecutions and the like! Sanitizing human language and expression is dangerous!
Going after perceived biases is good business too for some! Some make a living off it!
