Nothing is Objective;

We are all biased. Our values are our bias. So we all have to be honest, ethical and transparent about our biases.

“Accepting the reality that “pure objectivity” is a dangerous myth, and acknowledging both the effects of implicit bias and the validity of emotion, allow the opportunity for transparency about what happens in reality—and then for accountability.”

— National Institute of Health, United States National Library of Medicine

The majority of us know that the personal is political, like it or not.
