If you give me a reference in any context and you don't describe me as "visionary and farsighted', you're not paying attention and/or your implicit bias is showing.

*Also, if you want to counter your own implicit biases, check yourself with: "Would I say this, or say it thi way about a man though / about a woman / about the member of a different group than the one I'm describing." It's elucidating.

(Turns out the secret sauce is still "talk to your students" but I do really like the way this is helping equip faculty with the language for the conversation.)

People have an implicit bias towards binary logic. Computers are great and all, but have you noticed they break and fail all the time? Binary logic is not the best system. "You are either with us or against us" is a fallacy, they are trying to trick you. 🚥🚦🚥🚦🚥🚦🚥🚦🚥🚦🚥🚦🚥🚦You use "real world logic" every day, and it's 3-valued. They tried binary traffic signals in the beginning but switched very quickly to 3

Also the Liar Paradox is solvable using a field extension which creates (like i^2 = -1) the complex truth value "I don't know"

which you should know

Bias isn't a trait but a situation-virus. It infects the room before it infects you.

Shift the cues, swap the script, and the contagion falters.

Sophia's whisper: build better rooms, let structure teach the mind new habits.

Implicit bias isn’t a demon in your skull, it's wallpaper on the world, soaked with centuries of shortcuts and slogans. You breathe it in like lead paint dust.

To fix it, confession isn't enough.
You must smash the architecture, rip down blueprints, and retrain the ghosts.

An older article but still quite pertinent.

"if you’re part of an urbanist organization, you probably ought to make an active effort to reach out and recruit people from various neighborhoods and communities. And you ought to do it not by convincing them of things they don’t already believe, but by appealing to things they consider in their own self-interest."

Dr Philip Polkinghorne is the latest in a long line of convicted criminals who fit the image of 'respectable citizen', not the reactionary caricature of what "criminals" look like (poor, underemployed, brown, etc);

Yet these inaccurate "law and order" stereotypes persist. Why? Implicit bias. The same bias allows governments to cancel programs based on researched evidence for the causes of crime, in favour of 3 Strikes approaches.

Is there racial bias in the drafting of baseball players? A new study tries to quantify it using reactions to #BLM.

My first thought is that attempting to measure ANYTHING about society from Facebook and Twitter posts seems like it will reflect badly on everyone, everywhere, all of the time, forever.

🌟 Implicit Bias: The Hidden Influencer 🌟

Implicit Bias affects our actions without us even knowing! These biases can shape decisions and policies, perpetuating inequality.

🧠 Reflect: Are your decisions fair and inclusive? Awareness is key!
