    Everybody is biased. The question is can you put your biases aside for your job.

    I could not, ergo I’m not a lawyer or in a role where that matters.

      That’s defeatist horseshit. You be a lawyer FOR your biases. You be a public defender. You work for the ACLU or EFF. You become a right-wing grifter and just start suing everyone for being woke. You become a lawyer specializing in IP so you can sue the shit out of infringers. You become a lawyer specializing in IP so you can sue the shit out of greedy-ass corporations.

      All people are inherently biased and if you think you can’t be an attorney because you’re biased, fuck you. Get off your ass and be an attorney. You have no excuse except for the crushing debt and 6-7 years of coursework unless you’ve already completed a Bachelor’s degree. Do it. Because some asshole on the internet told you to.
