    Yes, I’d say that’s a pretty extreme view. I’m also not sure what you mean by controllable? I’d argue most of the uniqueness of humans comes as a product of the environment they were raised in, which isn’t really something we have control over.

    Also I have real bad news if you’re worried about things you’re not conscious of affecting your behaviors.

        Oh you don’t even want to get started on that rabbit hole. You wanna hear something real wild, it differs by the socioeconomic power held by women. In cultures where women have very little power, they care less about looks and more about personality and socioeconomic status of their partner. In cultures where women are empowered, they want to date somebody hot.

        Anyway, if you want the full deep dive on all the ways your unconscious biases affect your conscious thinking, you should start with heuristics and follow further.
