Is it possible for a human to make an unbiased statement?

I think we try, but you can only give so many angles.

On this forum, I think most posts are bias though.

otherwise, no I don't think it's possible to be not bias.

Anyone who claims to have an "unbiased" opinion on anything is lying, or trying to sell you something. Usually both :smirk:

That being said...I thing the pursuit of an unbiased opinion is one of the great things we can all strive for.

What brings the bias? Pure experience or Emotion?

Probably a combo of the two.

To weed out biased, one must pinpoint where it emerges from.

But I don't have enough drugs to figure it out;-)


I have Completely Unequivocally Biased names!

what about "water is a liquid?"

That statement is biased towards environments that support liquid water...

Because water can also be a solid or a gas, depending on temperature :wink:

It's fundamentally an impossibility for any being that exists.

So, would you say that communication is fundamentally biased? Or is bias more the result of being human since the ideas we use to communicate are tied to human experience, which is fundamentally biased?

Define communication, because until now you referred only to language.
Language is just a tool for communication, and sometimes not the best one I shall conclude. :strokebeard:

All this time I've loved you
And never known your face
All this time I've missed you
And searched this human race
Here is true peace
Here my heart knows calm
Safe in your soul
Bathed in your sighs
