We're governed by a set of biases. Our opinions and impressions need to be baselined against them, and we need to be conscious that other people might take advantage of these biases against us.
These biases are coded in our brains to help us function, mainly to make quick decisions and create meaning from the information we have when lacking some or having too much.
