Bias baiting 

When someone is trying to push their opinion on you or get validation for their judgments. Generally people who are very gossipy are bias baiters.
Isn’t it a shame that they got a breeder dog than a rescue? Stop bias baiting (or stop being a bias baiter!)

Bias Blind Spot

The ingrained inability to perceive the influence of your own cognitive biases on your judgments, while being acutely aware of how biases distort everyone else's thinking. You understand that confirmation bias makes your uncle's news feed a conspiracy theory echo chamber, but you'd never entertain the idea that your own curated feed creates a progressive or libertarian echo chamber just as potent. Your biases are "critical thinking"; other people's biases are "brainwashing."
Example: "She could write a dissertation on the availability bias skewing public fear of plane crashes, but couldn't see how the same bias made her irrationally terrified of moving to a new city after binge-watching crime dramas. Her bias blind spot was so total, she diagnosed cognitive distortions in others as a hobby while living in a glass house of her own."

Confirmation Bias Blind Spot

The cognitive inability to recognize one's own confirmation bias while easily detecting it in others. This is the meta-bias that makes confirmation bias so resistant to correction. You can see how your political opponent selectively reads news; you cannot see how you do the same. The blind spot is structural: self-awareness requires a neutral vantage point, but there is no such vantage point. You cannot step outside your own confirmation processes because those processes are what constitute your reasoning.
Confirmation Bias Blind Spot Example: "I read diverse sources and follow the evidence wherever it leads. My opponent, however, lives in an echo chamber." This statement, sincerely believed, is the Confirmation Bias Blind Spot speaking. The speaker cannot perceive the filters they apply—the choice of which "diverse sources" to trust, which "evidence" to weight heavily, which conclusions "logically follow." Their bias is not in their data; it's in their algorithm for processing data. And algorithms cannot see themselves.

Law Bias / Legal Bias

The assumption that formal, written law is the primary or only effective tool for creating order, justice, and social change. This bias underestimates the power of social norms, economic incentives, education, or cultural transformation. It can lead to legalism—the proliferation of complex statutes that are poorly enforced—and a neglect of the informal systems that actually govern daily life for many people.
Law Bias / Legal Bias Example: To address discrimination, a purely Law Bias approach would focus solely on passing new anti-discrimination statutes and hiring more compliance officers. It might ignore the deeper work of changing corporate culture, implicit bias training, or building diverse mentorship pipelines, which operate in the realm of norms, not statutes.
