Impartiality is a tricky one. How do you know when you’re being truly impartial? What biases might you have?
How do we gauge what impartial is?
Bias is a topic at the centre of woke ideology, particularly decolonialism.
Not sure what this ‘decolonialism’ is? I very strongly recommend you do your own research as it is fundamental to the woke feminism changes in Western culture taking place now. Right now.
In my understanding, the best outcome of decolonialism is that us Australians can finally learn our history. It is not taught in schools and never referred to in newsertainment. Most Ozzies think we have no culture (denial + ignorance) or that we ‘are all convicts’ (false memory syndrome).
In most cases, however, decolonialism combines with white feminism to perpetuate a new racial, economic and gender-based exclusive club. This movement regularly targets some members of the community without evidence, based solely on feelings related to hearsay and second-hand information.
One may conclude that this movement is the opposite of impartiality, and one would be exercising rational thought to reach that conclusion.
However, many proponents of decolonialism reject the secular value of critical reasoning as a form of colonial patriarchy which must be destroyed.
What does that leave us, the people who want a safe, law-abiding society? How can we protect ourselves from marginalisation, continue pursuing equality, and maintain our standard of living?
Not sure we can.
In every study where emotions form the basis of the group, fractions form and productivity falls, eventually resulting in destruction of that group. Cohesion cannot result from group members indulging in their feelings: a higher awareness must structure interactions.
So when I researched the contributions of decolonialism to Wedtern culture yesterday, my concerns of destructive dominance and experiences personal victimisation were brushed aside by AI search in both Brave and Google browsers.
The ideal of opening scientific, evidence-based traditions in education to Indigenous worldview was the only benefit that those search engines could identify. These I corroborate with personal experiences.
However, the brutal, cold, dismissal of my experiences by the search engine reveal the true nature of the decolonial ideology: harm is ok to ‘other’, not to ‘us’.
‘Do no harm’ is a secular value which has stood the test of time. Our AI programmers have yet to understand the value of doing least possible harm as part of their efforts.
Impartiality can be judged by ascertaining the path of least possible harm to the maximum number of people.
