What’s the difference between a bias and a value? (Other than values being consciously endorsed)

I suspect values are socially stabilized. You are honest or dishonest based on norms around you. Biases act in privacy mostly and it takes a self-aware counterparty to call out transgressions, as opposed to a general rule-enforcing busybody. Biases can turn into values I think

Values can be insincere (hypocrisy) in a way biases cannot. Their conscious nature creates the possibility of a gap between say/do. Hmm. Perhaps values are even best considered counterprogrammings of biases. At least deeply considered ones.

Maybe you hold an explicit value like honesty only if you notice a pattern of dishonesty leading to bad outcomes, or is pointed out to you. But pristine dishonesty in kids is unconscious probably. Criminal adult dishonesty requires first internalizing and then rejecting honesty

*whispers* it doesn't say "thou shalt not kill", it says "thou shalt not murder"

which is how you get a ~consistent~ value out of it; "murder" means "kill for a reason other than the extremely long list of reasons for which you are commanded to kill, such as when you see a member of the Blue-Bellied Speckles tribe" [this is real, cf. Amalek]
