Cognitive Biases - Reverse Pimpology Style!

Cognitive Biases are a way of thinking before additional decisions are made. A Black man or a Pimp cognitive bias was pre-programed by the white racist slave master to enslave the black man. The slavemaster's had bias also but his bias was to think that he was superior to the black man or pimp. The black man or pimp bias was to think that he was inferior to the white man, and that also he was not human. Everyone is bias to some degree. It is only human to be bias. To have some form of belief that guides your thinking and behavior. Racism was a bias way of thinking and behaving no matter what side you were on black or white. Everyone was pre-programmed to think a certain way whether this was inferior or superior. The powers-that-be controlled everyone's biases black and white. The black man and the white man biases were not wise. I always held the belief that to enslave a person was not necessarily  wrong. It was the treating of a person inhumanely that was the problem. The powers-that-be felt that they needed the racist element in order for slavery to work. Possibly that a white man would not enslave his black co-human. This form of thinking could hinder a person in making wise decision, or it could help a person actually make wise decisions. To treat a person as not a person is not wise. When a person is hindered from making a wise decision they will suffer the consequences themselves, and cause someone else to suffer the consequences. Both will suffer the consequences at some point for agreeing to a unwise decision. Did slaves have a choice? To be honest they did. They could have demanded to be treated like a human being. If it is one thing that Jesus taught us is that a person could defeat death. That a person could die in dignity even if he is being tortured to death. The slaves also had a cognitive bias that hindered them from wanting to die in dignity. Give me freedom or give me death mentality. No one wants to die but no one wants to be treated inhumanely either. We will all die for something is it come to it. Either we would die protecting ourselves or we will die a coward. The difference is a person has a chance to be treated fairly if they fight. They do not have a chance if the do not fight and give up. If they choose to do nothing they will suffer the consequences of their choice. It was Jesus Christ who taught us that we must be willing to die for righteousness. Slavery was not in itself wrong. It was the inhumane treatment. A person should have been willing to die just to be treated fairly. A person could only be living or dying at anyone time. The slave choose to die a depressed death. In this manner one has caused themself to deviate from logical or  rational reasoning in judgment. People basically base their judgments on irrelevant information or little or no evidence at all. But their decisions are based on anything but the facts and reality. Basically people are not wise when their cognitive biases hinder them from making wise decisions. In our American legal system jurors sometimes uses a negative bias that hinders them from making wise decision that could convict a innocent person. In this manner a person could do jail time or be penalized and not be actually guilty of the crime. Poor people and uneducated people suffer from this type of negative cognitive bias the most. They either can't afford the appeal process to pay a lawyer, or they are uneducated to file the appeal process themselves. For the law will let a person appeal a biased decision and get the decision to convict overturned. A rich person can hire a lawyer to comb through the evidence and testimony for any biased information. Everything is exact and perfect in our American legal system. But the poor and uneducated thinks the American legal system is unfair. Well, technically it's nothing that is stopping the poor from learning the legal system and appealing their own cases in any biased conviction. In this light the legal system is fair and the best that humans could design for theselves. Having a negative cognitive bias that hinders a person from making a wise decision also creates a mental disorder in people. Having a cognitive bias that causes a mental disorder was designed by the slavesmaster. They refused to teach a slave how to make wise decisions. It was a crime to teach a slave to be wise. A slave was to depend entirely on the slavemaster for all knowledge, the difference between right and wrong and their purpose. What the slavemaster taught the slave was a cognitive bias that caused them mental distress. Again, Pimpology Religion was created to reverse these racist attacks on a black person mental and physical health. There are a ton of cognitive biases that are too much to list here. To this matter it is wise to know what causes a cognitive bias in a person?


What Reason For A Cognitive Bias?

A cognitive bias is created by a person before they make a decision.  To them having a cognitive biases helps them make a wise decision. However, not all cognitive biases are created equal. Therefore it is wise to know that while having a cognitive bias does not necessarily have to be  a bad thing, it could be a good thing as well. So the question remains what is the reason for a cognitive bias. A person creates a cognitive bias to protect them from the potential stress in making decisions. Therefore a cognitive bias could work in preventing stress and allowing a person to make a wise decision. On the other hand it could prevent a person from making a wise decision. These decisions could affect their own life course of actions and behaviors. It would affect a person's overall judgment of themselves as well as others. It could result in racial profiling. In the case of the legal system it could affect whether a person goes to jail or is free. The reason for a cognitive bias is that sometimes a person does not understand something fully but still must make a decision. When this happens a person is confused. A good cognitive bias should motivate a person to figure out the truth by considering the evidence and facts. In this matter a cognitive bias would cause a person to hold off on making a decision until all the facts and evidence are in when making a decision effecting others. When making a decision regarding your own behavior a cognitive bias would have you to hold off until you consider the right logical course of behavior. A poor cognitive bias causes a person to jump to conclusions without considering the facts or including logical reasoning. Again, people create cognitive bias to help them make a decision when they don't understand something fully. This can be caused by a person just not knowing anything about the situation or person. Another reason is that they may be distracted by their own mental processing. For example: There could be too much noise in the way causing a person to not understand fully. A person's own fantasies or wishful thinking could block them from seeing the truth. A good cognitive bias would not cause a person to jump to conclusions in these situations. A good cognitive bias will cause a person to focus on the facts and use logical reasoning before making a decision.  When a person jumps to conclusions they end up seeing what they want to see instead of the truth. This could be motivated by fear or greed. When motivated by fear a person just wants to avoid any harm to others or themselves. When motivated by greed a person is just too anxious in receiving something of great value or worth. A cognitive bias may simply be a warning that they could error in making a decision if they are not wise. In this manner a cognitive bias could cause a person to make a wise decision. On the other hand a cognitive bias could cause a person to jump to conclusions, not considering the facts or any logical reasoning. All a person has to do is pay close attention to their use of any cognitive biases so as not to be unwise in making decisions.
