"No existe tal cosa como un jurado imparcial porque no hay personas imparciales"

Stephen Colbert

Simplified Meaning:

People can't be completely unbiased because our thoughts and feelings are always influenced by our past experiences, beliefs, and opinions. Just like a jury in a courtroom is made up of individuals who have their own viewpoints, everyone carries their own perspectives, making it impossible to be entirely objective. For example, if someone grew up in a community that strongly believes in certain values, those beliefs will shape how they see the world, even when they try to set them aside. In making decisions, these biases can still affect judgment, often without even realizing it. If you were asked to judge a cooking competition, your personal taste preferences, favorite foods, or past dining experiences will influence your choices, despite trying to be fair. When looking at discussions, it's important to acknowledge that everyone brings a piece of their background into the conversation. Understanding this can help us be more understanding and open when dealing with others. Recognizing our biases helps us strive to be fairer and more empathetic, both in everyday interactions and in more formal settings like jury duty.
