There's some things that they like, there's some things they don't like, which can...
kind of appear under the radar screen.
They may not be aware that they are exercising those biases.
That's the point.
What you brought up is a very important issue here.
Not so much issue, but it's not a bug.
It's a feature, in my opinion.
That implicit in the discussion of the question of
is thinking computational and so on.
It's the idea that our conscious awareness covers everything within our psyche.
And we just know that that's not the case.
All of us have observed other people who have had sort of destructive tendencies.
So obviously they did things destructive for themselves.
And many of us have observed ourselves doing that as part of human nature.
And there is great research in analytic psychology in the past hundred years.
strongly suggesting, if not proving, the existence of what Carl Jung called the personal unconscious and also collective unconscious, the kind of circle of ideas which are under the radar screen, which lead us to some strong emotions and inspire us to act in certain ways, even if we cannot really understand.
So if we accept that,
then the proposition that somehow everything can still be covered by our actions, which are totally kind of neutral and totally righteous and totally conscious, that it becomes really tenuous.
Well, you see, in mathematics, we have this idea that we have an idea of a set, right?
So it could be a collection of things.
