What if we told you that your brain was making prejudiced decisions without your awareness? You may think that you’re prejudice-free, but in reality, our brains are wired to discriminate.
According to neuroscience researcher Mark Waldman, “The human brain has a propensity to reject any belief that is not in accord with its own view. The brain’s natural functioning is to divide objects, people, and ideas into groups. The brain will tend to express a preference for one and a dislike for the other.”
In other words, the brain is naturally biased to reject those who don’t embrace our beliefs.
