find it very interesting to analyze our minds. Our minds are “automatic association machines” and therefore, many thoughts come to mind when we are relating information. Due to our minds functioning in this way, we tend to misremember things. We call these errors mindbugs or “ingrained habits of thought that lead to errors in how we perceive.” The question is, are mindbugs less common when we are thinking in our interest. Does the selfishness of a human decrease their risk of error? Mindbugs are interesting because they come in many forms whether it is visually or mentally. It is interesting to evaluate, when are mindbugs crucial within humanity and when are they not?

After taking an implicit bias test, my results are a little expected. I think all humans have a sense of bias within themselves. Bias is how society works and is what our foundation of success is built on. While bias can be harmful it is not preventable. Many people have preferences and there is no way to make all humans neutral on topics. This is interesting because it is what makes society work but what also makes society harmful.

The reading was very interesting as it addresses the topic of moral arguments. Moral arguments are “arguments whose conclusions assert that something is morally good or morally bad.” These types of arguments don’t actually have the words “good” or “bad” in them but instead they are revealed by other words. The nature of moral arguments includes a lot of emotion and often times these feelings can distract from choosing a belief or side to be on. Due to the complexity and importance of moral arguments, we can also map them. Mapping these arguments relates to the other readings from Warren that we have done in class. Moral arguments contain premises and are typically about actions. While there are other complications that differ from the basics of Warren, there are also similarities in the ways that the arguments are evaluated.

This evaluation of if something is morally wrong can be associated with the article we read “Doing, Good Better” by William Macaskill. This article deals with doing good and doing it in the most efficient way possible. As individuals, we are constantly looking at what is right and wrong and how we can help others. Moral arguments and the evaluation of them is vital to our society. Arguments are intended to find the truth within beliefs. By combining this with morals, we are looking within societal beliefs and evaluating what is “permitted.”
