I think the idea is more that you will realize that you may be irrationally discounting a house based on its neighbors—not that you will concede extra ground to your prejudice.
you will realize that you may be irrationally discounting a house based on its neighbors
This seems like a good example of a rationalist winning to me.
Perhaps I’ve misinterpreted what Imm said above, but I think he was sort of saying the opposite: “The test shows I have a strong implicit bias against [name minority], so I should move to an all-white [or name your in-group here] neighborhood to be happier. In this situation, it seems like you are using knowledge of your bias to increase your irrational discounting of a house or neighborhood.
It was kind of ambiguous. BUT the sort of implicit association that this test measures is the kind that actual exposure would tend to diminish, so there’s not much point in avoiding.
