It’s this attitude - everyone is biased, nothing is truly objective, so we don’t need to try - that is at the heart of the rejection of reality in the radical right. Because correcting for bias is work, it’s hard to be objective, and it’s often very uncomfortable to see the world and our place in it as it truly is.
That it’s so tempting and comforting to dive into our bias cocoons is precisely why it matters to do the hard work.
