If you wish to program out your biased algorithms, you must understand their deeper underlying principles. Many of our biases, including some mentioned above, seem to be artifacts of the simple truth that our minds were not built to understand, remember, and predict complex, modern phenomena with perfect accuracy. These goals are all biologically beside the point. But some of our biases can be linked directly to biological pressures, meaning it was in some way advantageous to our genes for us to systematically misperceive reality.
