What’s the difference between a bias and a value? (Other than values being consciously endorsed)
-
-
we like to shit on people crying about having behaved inconsistently with their values on the basis of the idea that if they were really their values, they wouldn't have done the thing, but that's actually completely unfair, acting inconsistently with your values is very easy
-
we can't actually tell "i acted inconsistently with my values" from "i acted inconsistently with the values i want you to believe i have" from the outside in the moment, of course, but whether they update their biases in the long term is relevant
-
then of course we call values that are antagonistic toward abstract groups of people "biases" for the propaganda weight and the IAT, if valid at all, is a tool for measuring people's non-volitional racist biases and polemicizing them as if they were volitional racist values

"hate is not a family value" oh my sweet summer child
