Yes, but note that a lot of biases are universal to all humans. This means they are biological (as opposed to cultural) in nature. And this implies that the goals they developed to further are biological in nature as well. Which means that you are stuck with these goals whether you conscious mind likes it or not.
If your conscious mind has goals incompatible with the effects of bioneuropsychological processes then frustrations seems the least result.
I still don’t know about that. A collection of such “incompatible goals” has been described as civilization :-)
For example, things like “kill or drive away those-not-like-us” look like biologically hardwired goals to me. Having a conscious mind have its own goals incompatible with that one is probably a good thing.
Sure we have to deal with some of these inconsistencies. And for some of us this is an continuous source of frustration. But we do not have to add more to these than absolutely necessary, or?

Yes. That’s what I meant when I said: “You wouldn’t want to rationalize against your emotions. That will not work.”
