      This is of course the best case scenario for having a bias. There are far worse -- and more common -- biases based on one's inherent prejudices such as political views. These apply an extra layer on almost everything you see, causing you to search for things that are not there.

      Okay. But even here: either said someone is a far-righter, or they are not. (Forget whether the label is universally useful, for a second.) If they are, and if you know the far-right well, 'this person is a far-righter' will usefully explain much of what they say and do... (1/4)

      ... and inform how you ought to deal with them. If they are not, it is likely that powering ahead under the assumption will lead you astray. But in *both* cases, critical reflection - far more 'What is a piece of evidence which would discredit my assumption?' than... (2/4)

      ... 'How can I construe every next thing they say to fit with my assumption?' - points toward the truth (or, rather, away from falsehood). The 'layer' itself is neutral. That is, you're talking about (I hope) correcting for bias: not transcending it (which is impossible). (3/4)

      As for stripping away layers: I admit, 'deeper' layers can seem to be more explanatorially (again, sp?) rich. Certainly, it seems more often than not that explanations propagate 'up' more frequently than 'down'. But this, too, is (arguably) something of a mistake. ;) (4/4)

      Disagree. Far-right is a crude umbrella term for an abstract group. Most of the time, it's too general to be accurate for gauging individuals, even "far-right" ones. And, one can indeed transcend *many* biases by removing topmost layers of information (e.g racism, leftism).

      And I think it is in fact those experiences we are most accustomed to that we are most susceptible to bias - we tend to always overlook the familiar.

      If this is true, why have we been most wrong for most of human history about that which is _outside_ of everyday experience? (E.g. the rest of the universe, the very big, the very small, etc.)

      Our models of the solar system are far less biased than our daily reads of the newspaper.

      Not for most of human history. Why?

      Because we on;y had our experience to measure the universe, back then. As soon as we transcended our reliance on our own experience, our biased model of the universe (geocentric) ended and a more accurate model took its place.

          So, it was the invention of the telescope (or something like that) then? You've kicked the problem up a level. Why and how was the telescope invented? From 'experience'? It too didn't exist for most of human history: no-one knew how to make one. My guess is... (1/2)

          ... someone made an 'assumption' ('Hmm... if I made a piece of glass like that raindrop...') which turned out to be OK. Infinitely many more bad ones are made all the time. Again, in each case, error-correction is all there is - to assumptions which *must* be made. (2/2)
