Allow me to ask a rhetorical question, it is hoped to truly get you thinking.
Do you question you own beliefs and scrutinise them in the same way that you would question and scrutinise others? This can include but is not limited to, the religious, cultural, emotional, scientific and physical beliefs/perceptions/hypotheses that you don't agree with.
Or are you merely disagreeing because you haven't spent the time to properly investigate others' perspective and apply the same skepticism to your own views?
I know that I said this is rhetorical but I'll answer by saying I am guilty of massive bias but I'm working towards removing it and I think I'm doing a fairly good job.

The answer is obvious as you well know. We are all biased and it's just a matter of the degree.

My beliefs have changed drastically through many phases over the years, if one were to skim through my posts in these forums that should be evident enough. Its a common occurrence for me to admit if I've made an error during a thread.
That's not something I share with the unwashed masses, its evidently a rare set of qualities.

I have felt alone in this too, I've been so very fortunate to have a group of people around me these days that let their ideas change and evolve as new ideas come to light or show that an error was made in previous lines of thinking. They are critical but thoughtful thinkers.
My wife is truly a gift to me in this.
I hope there are those around you that can help you to keep growing and learning and those you look up to who can guide you through this.
