O learned judge!
An upright judge. A learned judge.
What you know you know is what you take to be true.
You do not know how you know what you know.
You cannot know that what you know you know is true.
‘(All truths are subjective).
The more you learn the more you think you know.
(All learning does not necessarily lead to more knowledge).
The more you know the more learned you are.
The more learned you are the more you don’t know how you know what you know.
A bias is a predilection in favour of what you know or against denial of what you know.
An empty mind is free of any predilections.
The more you know, the more biased you are towards what you know.
To judge is to form conclusions based on what you know.
The more learned you are, the more biased you are.
A learned judge is a biased judge.
Bias is always a consequence of little learning.
All learning is little learning.
Having more learning is always having more of little learning.
A learned judge is a biased judge. An unbiased music critic with no prior opinions is a useless critic. A food critic without taste preferences would be unbiased but would also be worthless as a critic. Unbiased parents would show no preference for their own children. Without bias, “good” and “bad” start with equal value. I am incurably biased against what I consider “bad” and against people I don’t like. Bias is merely the current state of a functioning brain.
