  • You said being alone with someone implies distrust. I’m saying it doesn’t and it depends on your biases. Being alone with an Australian according to my biases implies you’re trying to be alone with them to maybe ask them out and you’re nervous.

    Being honest with yourself about your initial thoughts on these things is the first step to stamping out your inherent bias. Recognizing the thoughts and pondering the experiences and possibly propaganda that led to them is important.

    Pretending you’re above having an implicit bias is naive and dangerous.

    I am agreeing with you that a machine should not give out different answers based on untrue and often hurtful human bias.



  • Even if this is true, toddlers actually need to eat many times a day. My kid eats extremely clean at home, but if I ever want to leave the house, it’s tough to feed them cleanly without access to a refrigerator and stove. You can make your baby a puree from whole foods, but you’ve got a very short window to eat it once it’s out of the fridge.

    Tough enough for me that it made me just stay home and isolate which in fact was worse for me and the toddler than just accepting that we were going to bring a store bought, shelf stable container of pureed green beans with us to be able to leave the house.

    It gets easier when your kid has enough teeth to trust them to chew an almond, but not by much. People are just doing their best.
