I'm not sure it makes sense to talk about bias unless you already have a value you're aiming at.

yes - bias defined by value makes sense

biases distort cognition

don’t values also distort cognition measured from the outside?

Values tend to be aspirational, too

aspirational in a different way from “consciously endorsed”?

Biases filter what you know, values filter what you do

isn’t the fight-or-flight response a bias that determines what you do?

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.
