UNCONSCIOUS BIAS INDUSTRY: 1984 REVISITED BY A MASON

If you haven't read George Orwell, get a copy of Animal Farm and 1984 and prepare to be challenged in a way that recalibrated "masonic" material never can. He writes about the risks taken when we abrogate individual responsibility.  Not good. It's a slippery slope to go from thinking based on facts to thinking to comply with authority, to adhere to an ideology.  Not everyone wants to do the work needed to validate assumptions that are edgy.  Unconscious bias is one of those.   Years ago, psychologists conducted an experiment to test for bias. The flashed faces and asked participants to give them a positive or negative response. The findings were analyzed and the experts determined that we could show bias toward a race without actually being aware, unconscious bias was born.  Fast forward decades later and we learn that science has been a little sloppy. The assumption is not accurate.  Josh Kraushaar laid out the consequences for us.  " The unconscious-bias industry diminishes personal responsibility, renders well-meaning, guilt-stricken (people) vulnerable to baseless ideological re-education, and empowers an elite that is by this point inexcusably rebuking (people) for made-up sins. Oh I know this is less than a thorough explanation but it doesn't stray too far from Mr. Orwell's delightful books on the subject of personal responsibility.  I suggest you research the back story of each book before you jump in to them for those aha moments.  Meanwhile, judge with kindness as a true Mason would.
