Is there a such thing as unbiasedness?

Youre looking for the word objective.

I tend to not believe people who are always claiming things. The very act of promoting “unbiasedness” is biased.

I do think it is possible for some people some of the time.

Impartiality is another synonym. It’s tough, but within some boundaries possible. An Ombudsman tried to be objective or impartial.

We all carry within us cultural, class, caste, race, religious and spelling biases.

I think it is possible, with a great deal of self-knowledge, insight, and effort. If you know what your biases are, you can set them aside. I don’t think most people are capable of it, though.

Everyone has a bias. But you can have your own bias and still be fair. I try to do this. I’m not perfect though, I’d like to think I am because I’m biased, but to be fair, I have to admit I’m not.

Or, neutrality?

I think it’s possible if the facts given to them by which they will form an opinion are fresh and they have not been exposed to them before that time.

If you are aware that you have a bias for an outcome, you can choose to set the bias aside and evaluate the situation for what it is.

I think I can be unbiased about things I don’t know a lot about. If I hear both sides of an issue; I’m confident i can give an honest opinion.

I’m not very biased. It always bothered me how people would just think something is better because their mom works for them or something. I have a friend who’s dad works for Verizon. He has no knowledge of any other carrier and says Verizon is the best.

My dad also has always been a PC person. He grew up with them and is used to them and because of that he doesn’t like Mac. I grew up with PCs and friends who use them but after looking at both the decision was clear. Then I started to love Apple. People actually think Apple pays me because they cannot imagine such an unbiased with so much passion towards one company. I think that it is possible to give an unbiased opinion. Just not common.

Sorry about my typing. On am iPhone.

It is axiomatic for me that everyone has a bias. If someone claims to be unbiased, I don’t trust them at all. However if someone admits to their bias, I can trust them, because once I know it, I can adjust for it.

I hate it that the News media try to be objective. I think that’s a crock. I wish they would just be honest and admit to where they’re coming from.

If you tell me where you’re coming from, I know how to take the information you provide. If I don’t know, you are influencing me in an unknown way, and it doesn’t matter if you don’t know your own bias. In fact, that’s probably the worst of all, bwcause that says that you have no idea where you fit in society.

And that is my completely unbiased opinion on the subject!

Not via a human eye and brain. There are bias-free statistical models where a computer might formulate a potential “outcome” based on static information that contains no inherent bias within itself, like ages, or weights, or time.
