Is safety the only bias the brain has? I suppose that question would depend upon what you lump into the category of “safety.” If you believe that anything and everything unlike you is “no safe,” then that could be a huge pot of “not safe.” It does appear, however, that beyond the instantaneous safety evaluation, each brain does have its own bias: some biases are innate, perhaps related to cellular memory, or even learning in utero. Others are learned and developed beginning very early in childhood. Estimates are that 50% of the problems people face in life are of their own making—and what you don’t know you don’t know can create many of those problems.
