    You are biased, we all are biased, and how and why we come to the conclusions we do, in a political context.

    And I am always right. I thought I was wrong once but I was wrong.

    That may be true. One can be biased ... towards reality. Or when problem solving, towards the best solution. Even if it is not a perfect solution, as that may not be possible.

    Have you heard of the book Predictably Irrational? Many times we are wrong in our seemingly logical decision making.

    If a student would point out I misspelled a word, I would say, “my first mistake ever and you witnessed it" and then the rat would say, “you said that yesterday” . Needless to say he flunked

    I am never wrong, but I may not always be right.

    Not only am I biased, but I am adamantly biased.

    Of course everyone has a bias. This only dangerous when unaware of such a thing and allow it to cloud rationality.

    I admit that listening to Evangelist Garner Ted Armstrong
    for several hours each week as I grew up during the '70's left me
    with something of a bias toward the USA Republican party.........
    and their basic view of the world and universe / Multiverse.....
    but as I got older I managed to become somewhat more objective.



    (I think that my suggestion of AboveAlpha entering the USA Presidential race back in 2015,
    joining the Democrats...... and "flipping" or at least attempting to flip Dr. Ben Carson......
    proves that I am no longer quite so biased as I once was?!)

    http://www.politicalforum.com/index...-the-office-of-potus-as-early-as-2016.397835/

    Should AboveAlpha allow us to set him up for the office of POTUS as early as 2016?

    Those who fear being wrong do not live life.

    What's wrong with being biased? I'm biased. I love my parents more than I love The President's childrens' parents.

    If I wasn't biased, I'd have to obey every single person as I do my mother and father.
