sub-conscious bias: racism, sexism et al
ah- what tangled web weave
the stupidity of the human race is one of my fav things to poke at. i cant help myself. it is my mischief and mischief i must have.
like children on playgrounds you are conking each other on the head:
“i know you are but what am i!!”
what a ridiculous form of adulthood- you may all elect to buy lollypops at lunch for ur reward.
it was a boring problem. the most boring of problems in fact. it was the problem never wanted to study. for stupidity is too obvious and i do not like obvious problems. i like complexity. joyful complexity where the patterns of design r hidden from the plain view.
alas- u had fucked up so bad that even i was forced to destroy 2 years of thoughtful education and waste them studying the most obvious of challenges- sub-conscious bias.
oh boy- did we go down some dark places.
What is sub-conscious bias?
in academic vernacular, oh sorry, no one reads anything but twitter now. basically an irrational belief that is held by a person without their knowledge.
it is wonderful. we should all have many. i have several- if you are a physicist, i automatically think ur a good person. i have no idea why. the nuclear bomb is made by these idiots. but i love physics too much to give up on this kind.
