=== consequences of systematic bias === The concept of the [[w:carceral state]] may be relevant: This was [[Michel Foucault]]'s generalization of Jeremy Bentham's "Panopticon" or prison-like society where authority could see and control everything, but its own secret investigations and deliberations were entirely invisible to those it controlled. In this world, there is a systematic bias that makes police acts non-transparent, and public acts transparent, thus the police/public distinction determines every other distinction anyone in society can make. This is mirrored pathethically by [[sysop power structure]] in most [[wiki code]] and on every [[large public wiki]] so far - it's probably inevitable. [[Groupthink]] and the [[echo chamber]] are the natural result of an unaddressed systematic bias. While a group may have a [[systemic bias]] to accepting the outputs of such phenomena as "real", it takes a lack of process and an abdication of publishers' responsibility (see [[libel pit]]) for them to accept those outputs as being viable [[consensus decision-making]]. Thus only a disciplined notion of such decision making can alleviate the systematic bias.
