It depends on what you mean by ideology. I could have made this clearer by just asking this question and leaving it at that:
What is ideology?
I wrote my comment in a way that:
1. Presented “ideology” as meaning “dogma”.
2. But also considered it a (degenerate case) of theory.
I don’t think it’s bad to have theories, but if the way a relationship between a theory and reality is handled is that ‘reality’ is always rejected/ignored if they disagree, than that means learning is impossible.
Is it bad to have theories? No.
You ask if biased solutions are a good or a bad thing. I thought biases were generally identified by rationality as bad things in general, is this correct?
Yes, though it’s useful to distinguish between ‘here is a heuristic people use’ and ‘here is where that heuristic goes wrong’.
