Oh, congratulations on achieving the impossible. I wasn't aware I was speaking to an omniscient deity floating in a vacuum.

Saying "I have no bias" doesn't make you neutral, it just means you're dangerously unaware of how human cognition works. Bias isn't a character flaw you can opt out of, it is the inevitable result of having a subjective point of view. Unless you possess total, universal information (which you don't), your entire worldview is built on the limited data you've consumed, the specific environment you inhabit, and the people you interact with.

You are filtering reality through a unique lens just like the rest of us. Pretending you aren't doesn't make you "objective", it just makes you the most unreliable narrator in the room because you're too blind to see your own blind spots.
