Bias of Impartial Things

A pervasive bias where human creations—institutions, systems, artifacts, knowledge—are treated as if they were impartial, objective, and free from the human interests that produced them. The Bias of Impartial Things projects neutrality onto things that are anything but neutral: science shaped by funding and paradigm, technology embedded with values and assumptions, culture carrying centuries of history, economics built on particular theories of human nature, law encoding power relations, secularism reflecting specific historical struggles. The bias treats these human products as if they fell from the sky, as if they weren't made by particular people in particular times with particular interests. It's the ultimate fetishism: forgetting that humans made the human world, and treating that world as natural, neutral, inevitable. The smartphone isn't impartial; it's built with minerals mined by children, designed by engineers in Silicon Valley, powered by algorithms trained on biased data. But the Bias of Impartial Things sees only the device, not the world that made it.

"The algorithm is impartial—it just processes data." Bias of Impartial Things: treating a human creation as if it weren't human. The algorithm was trained on historical data full of bias, designed by engineers with assumptions, deployed by companies with interests. But the bias sees only code, not context. The thing seems impartial; the world that made it disappears. Impartial things are never impartial; they're just things whose making we've forgotten."

Bias of Exposing

A bias where individuals or groups engage in "exposing" others—revealing alleged wrongdoing, hypocrisy, or scandal—while being selectively blind to similar or worse behavior in their own side. The Bias of Exposing is what makes partisans obsessive about the other side's scandals and oblivious to their own. It's the bias of the whistleblower who only blows the whistle on enemies, of the accountability activist who only holds the other side accountable. The Bias of Exposing is a form of motivated perception: we see clearly what serves our interests and are blind to what threatens them. It's the cognitive engine of hypocrisy, the fuel of selective outrage.

Example: "He spent hours exposing corruption in the opposing party but never mentioned scandals in his own. The Bias of Exposing wasn't deliberate hypocrisy; it was genuine blindness. He saw what he was motivated to see and was blind to the rest. His outrage was sincere—and selective."

Biased Lawyer Veils The Justification Of His Corrupt Actions In My Own Rhetoric To Detract From The Fact

And by 'veils in my own rhetoric' I mean 'Weaponizing schizophrenia by talking about the things I do while they aren't around in a way that could be easily misconstrued as delusions of reference' or 'Using their children as a cudgel' which is how you know he is lying to detract from the fact they buried the 'Weaponized schizophrenia' I was talking about and are now trying to shield themselves from liability for child murders that may have occurred.

Hym "Breaking! Biased Lawyer Veils The Justification Of His Corrupt Actions In My Own Rhetoric To Detract From The Fact That YouTube Influencers Are DELIBERATELY Trying To Make It Look Like Someone Has A Mental Illness They Don't Actually Have To Make A Point About Women Or Slurs Or Something! Or maybe they AREN'T trying to make a point! Maybe they are just doing it so they can tell themselves that what they are doing to me isn't that bad and that it isn't their fault that a bunch of children got murdered but, rather, they can scapegoat me for doing nothing more than describe my own situation (in great detail) and draw attention to it in the only way I could thing to do so."

Bias

Your favorite member of a K-pop group, the one you feel the strongest connection to, support the most, or simply can’t stop obsessing over. Every fan has one (or more), and choosing your bias is basically a rite of passage in any fandom.

“I’ve been watching EXO videos all week, and I think Baekhyun is officially my bias now, his vocals are insane!”
