All of us show bias when it comes to what information we take in. We typically focus on anything that agrees with the outcome we want.

I suspect unconscious bias has been far more of a factor for President Obama than overt racism and will also be a challenge for Hillary Rodham Clinton if she runs for president again.

Everybody is sitting around saying, 'Well, jeez, we need somebody to solve this problem of bias.' That somebody is us. We all have to try to figure out a better way to get along.

It's very easy to be judgmental until you know someone's truth.

I think by laying it out for the viewer I'm avoiding the issue of bias.

It's difficult to judge yourself.

Unconscious Polities emerge independent of conscious purpose.

My point is that perceptual bias can affect nut jobs and scientists alike. If we hold too rigidly to what we think we know, we ignore or avoid evidence of anything that might change our mind.
