Bias, 2


At nano-second speed the brain evaluates:
Have I seen this person (or creature, object, 
substance, food, environment, ideology…) 
before?
If it is a person, are they like me?
If no, how are they different and am I SAFE?
Your brain’s “bias” assessment prompts you to approach or withdraw—to “move forward toward” or “move back away”—from the person or thing. More tomorrow.
