It’s unclear to me in what sense it’s useful to use the phrase “new bias,” especially for something you describe in terms of known biases. This kind of writing has negative connotations to me, generally speaking because it suggests that you care more about being the first person to come up with an idea than you do about whether it’s a useful idea, and specifically speaking because it sort of makes you sound just a little bit like a crackpot.
Interesting. I would have never thought of that interpretation. My take on the memetics of ideas is that people should come up with names for things, and usefulness will sift later (along with other memetic pressures) what will become norm and what wont. Thanks for the heads up! I’ll change it for something more neutral.
