Hmm, I feel like bias is somewhat necessary to help us develop and understand our perspectives. Yet, I also feel corporate media and social media alike play on our biases and spin them into completely different narratives that we may come to believe are completely true without us ever realizing it.

Saying that, it could feel like our biases may not even be our own, let alone our thoughts. Bias itself holds much complexity to be unpacked and expanded to create room for more openness and curiosity which I also feel are so heavily needed these days.

When I start making an income again (to hell with zombie America lol), I'm definitely going to try your bias course and see what it might reveal about me and my own thought patterns.

What are things like during election times in Canada for you guys? Does it get this crazy?

Here in New York it's highly liberal, and hearing my friends talk about RFK Jr as if he is some sort of undercover Republican is wild. Their bias stems from mainstream media, and it seems impossible to breakthrough to get them to open up about other ideas. A couple of them I could send this piece to, but a few others would probably just get mad lol.

Thanks for this concise explanation. Will check into your course.
