“Blindspot” by Mahzarin R Banaji and Anthony G Greenwald

“Blindspot” is an illuminating exploration of the hidden biases that unconsciously influence our thoughts and actions. The authors, distinguished psychologists Banaji and Greenwald, brilliantly unravel the psychology behind these biases, offering readers a deeper understanding of their minds.

This book doesn’t merely present an abstract discussion of unconscious biases. It bridges the gap between the theoretical and the practical by providing intriguing online tests for readers to discover their own ‘blind spots’. These tests are thought-provoking and highly beneficial, aiding individuals in understanding the foundations of their beliefs and actions.

The authors compellingly illustrate that our biases stem largely from the environment in which we were raised. More importantly, they emphasize that it’s not what was explicitly told to us but the actions witnessed during our upbringing that have the most significant impact. This perspective invites readers to engage in deeper introspection and understanding of their own and others’ behavior.

“Blindspot” may not provide a direct roadmap for changing these biases, but it gives a profound insight into why they exist, challenging readers to reevaluate their perceptions. This is a seminal work for anyone interested in understanding the roots of bias and taking the first steps towards self-improvement and empathetic understanding of others.

Not Quite Me: When the Avatar Becomes True.

The first time I saw my face returned by a machine, I felt a small, impolite thrill. What begins as self-portrait becomes something else: a study of social legibility, platform incentives, and the moment an avatar turns “true” because everyone treats it that way.
