Bias Conflict

Bias Conflict is short for Inextricable Cognitive Bias Conflict. An extremely common and automatic conflict which erupts between individuals because each individual can only perceive and interpret events anchored in their biases which produce their cognitive biases.
Each one of two men rents a room in a house in Lakeland, Florida. Along with the landlady, the three live in a Bias Conflict because until each one comes to comprehend Cognitive Biases, each one will continue perceiving and interpreting everything based on their inherent biases.

Relative Desirability

Based on the quantity of women who are in a town, how desirable each is to each man in that town. If there is only one woman in town, as long as she is not ugly or old, she will attract the men and be desired. The moment other women are in town, each man finds himself comparing them to decide which one he likes more and get her to want him.

Based on the quantity of a specific thing or things, such as fruits, shoes, whatever, are available in a town, how desirable each is to people varies depending on how many they have to choose from.
It's so funny, and it took me years to comprehend what is going on in me, but I finally articulated the feeling and call it Relative Desirability.

Identity Check

An Identity Check is the first thing two people do when they see one another, even if they never speak to one another, is evaluate who the other person is and how powerful that person is. The second thing every person who interacts with another person in any way does is impose an identity on the other person, and they do that by telling the other person who they think that person is by the way they treat them.

When the identity another person indirectly, subtly, but firmly imposes on another person matches the identity that person has of themselves, or is close to the one they are working to attain, the person will continue interacting with the person who is imposing that desired identity on them. When the identity being imposed is different than the one that person has of themselves or is working to attain, that person will stop interacting with the person or the people who attempt to impose an identity the person does not agree with or like.
Sharon and Jane silently conducted an Identity Check on one another. As soon as they were introduced to one another by Bob McDonald, they continued evaluating one another and soon started to impose an identity on one another. Jane agreed with the identity Sharon was imposing on her, but Sharon did not like the identity Jane was imposing on her and walked away.

Attention Deprivation

A masked psychological technique applied perhaps intuitively by members of the dominant race, class, or ethnicity in society primarily by denying eye-contact, ignoring, and sometimes pretending to be a non-person or seeming to be unhappy or even angry at their victim for no apparent reason to intimidate, injure, disempower and put-down members of society's less powerful groups.
The descendants of the currently dominant race which invaded and occupied that part of the world apply the psychological technique social scientists call "attention deprivation" (denying their victims eye-contact, ignoring them, and sometimes pretending to be very unhappy or even angry at them for no reason) to dominate the descendants of the people who inhabited that part of the world thousands of years before them.
