what if biases are object level and values are meta level

yeah, i'm liking this biases are in-the-moment cognitive and perceptual tropisms that are immediately interactive with situations legitimate values are goal commitments in self-metaprogramming, a desire to alter one's biases to be consistent with some higher-order arrangement

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
