Then I think we’re fairly aligned and I respect your honesty.
No dispute on whether I’ll be ferreting out biases for the rest of my life. I just consider it mental hygiene.

Yeah also I grew up in a world that was much more openly racist than the one of today so I’ll catch myself having stereotyping intrusive thoughts about dumb stuff people will do and I’ll be like, “no x type of person isn’t the only type that cuts you off in traffic, dumbass”. I don’t think that’s a belief though.
Just like I don’t think that having intrusive thoughts about jumping off a ledge means your suicidal.
