Great example of the limitations of "Bias" - Lex And Walter

[Jayson G]

I was going to watch this episode to study the psychology of Elon, what made him successful, etc. 

And through that process you can see a subtle war between a biased person and an unbiased person. 

In this case Lex is biased because Elon is his good friend. They shared a picture of celebrating a birthday together even. 

Walter, on the other end of the spectrum writes biographies. In such a position you have to be unbiased, and purely observant. He doesn't care if Elon is "good" or "bad". He cares about the truth, what actually happened, what he is really like, his psychology, etc. (lets ignore the Ukraine story because that was a miscommunication, and a one-off item) 

Maybe walter has a slight bias, but the priority of observation and truth really shines. Lex's bias just makes it hard to listen. 

And btw I love Lex. But I noticed sometimes his bias, romantic poetic talks, niceness, gets in the way of realness. When I reflect in myself, I not only prioritize niceness, poetic talks, etc. but I also love it. Like talking poetic for example, makes life beautiful, but on the other end it distorts reality at times. I don't know how I feel about poetry tbh. 

Anyways .. back this convo .. What's interesting here is that even though Lex is telling the truth about Elon, the inherent bias affects the truth, it distorts it, it feels fake and hard to listen to at times. I haven't studied bias much, but seeing bias vs. non-bias in this contrast in a real world example really makes me see the importance of letting bias go.

Of course if Lex let go of his bias, Elon would stop being friends with him lol .. and the lesson there is bias = survival. Drop the bias and it affects your survival

On a final note .. The center of this conversation, Elon musk, love him or hate him, his life just seems so impossible yet its happening. A man who is kinda crazy, childish, etc. but builds very stable grounded companies. Someone who lacks higher consciousness ideal makes profound changes in humanity. I don't get it.

   Here's the science and analysis I did of him, I do agree that based on many developmental factors like stages of development, cognitive and moral development, personality types and traits, 9 stages of ego development, life experiences and other lines of development, ideological beliefs indoctrinated groomed and gas light into your mind by upbringing and culture, self biases and preferences that shapes one's worldview and paradigm locks, he's maybe an interesting person who covers some complicated topics, some philosophical topics in this man in a black suit, which I suspect another did this kind of presentation, I do believe that, after doing some body language analysis, verbal, and statement analysis of him, that his tonality, word choices, and how he communicates, this slow deliberate management of expression and tone, gives a false impression he's so objective and rational level headed, but that's just appeals to and fallacies to logos, some pathos and some ethos here and there especially with him virtue signaling love, compassion, and kindness, I'm sorry but my intuitive observation is that due to this hyper objective look and robotic rational heavy behaviors this creates this jarring feel, like he's forcing himself to be loving and kind, when it feels fake, again based on his behaviors and word choices he uses.

   I like the video you shred, there are a few videos that do show Lex's biases. I appreciate you sharing this. Please share more if you find more interesting ones which shows Lex is challenged a bit.
