How can anyone be unbiased? When you have a choice, then there is no such thing as unbiased!. And human life is full of it. Choices!..we have to make each and every day. In the end, biased decision are taken and done in every single little things we do. This sounds totally opposite of balance. Unbiased is balance. Its like choosing nothing!. Because in a balanced life, there would be nothing to choose from, there would be nothing to be biased. Discrimination is a worst word to use for biasing. No one is far from it. Its just a human behavior. may be i can say, intelligent human behavior. We discriminate based on color, language, food...etc. We might have improved (Civilised) in a certain way. But i see it that we have only transformed from one form to another, we still have the discrimination. Now its based on intelligence. We get jobs based on intelligence and your salary. That's going to decide your status in the society. The you discriminate based on this. Some time back in the past, it was the power, brute strength. Now it is the intelligence. Next it could transform into something else, so this will keep on going from one form to another. But the discrimination will be there as long as human intelligence exists. Its is the way we see, understand things. If everything is same and nothing is different. then there is nothing to discuss, nothing to compare, nothing to improve. We just would died down.Is it? Is there a way?
If humans are born just with memory, but not intelligence...then i wonder, how this world will be. Its worth exploring the possibility. (Without my human intelligence ability, i wouldn't be able to make this statement Of course!). Intelligence could seen as the corruption of our memory. Its corrupts, it biases, it tells you to make decision. Best way to understand is to look at the human babies. When they are born, they are unable to make decision, they just absorb things..in their memory. Of course they do nothing! But slowly, their intelligence kicks in...started making decision....and we became what we are. Decision making animal!. I don't have to tell you that wright and wrong are just names and you could change as per your point of view. So the point is decision making between choices. Whether its wright or wrong...its just constrain, environment based.
Out of curiosity, I try to differentiate between Japanese and American way of decision making. I could have take any other group, but the reason for choosing this two is because i being exposed more to it and both contrast each other well. I said differentiate, i want to be careful that i should not make decision and take sides. But i am afraid i am just a human.
Japanese tend not to take quick decisions and of course not by the individual. It will always be a team effort, team decision. Some time its became indecisive! :). (Here i go..biased). Americans on the other hand, take quick decisions and of course its highly based on individual. Ayn Rand style. There is always a decision, never without it. Japanese tend to eliminate the possibilities, they give importance for all possibilities, verify it and then eliminate the wrong ones...finally reaching at the correct one. This is a bit rigorous, but quick effective with persistent effort. Yes you need to be very passionate and very persistent. While American way of thinking is, just think out of box and hit the bulls eye out of no where. Some time you get lucky, but if not, then you don't know what to do!. Of course, things may not be so sharply divided as i described. But for argument sake. This could be considered as a two classical way of division between being in group and being individual.
Biased are we humans, in every aspect of life.
