# [[Avoiding My Personal Biases]]
When I share a thought or an idea and I tell you to look up sources or further information yourself .. it's not because I don't have sources or don't want to put the effort. I have already done all that.
It is because I want you to have the opportunity to get the information without it being tainted with my personal biases. For all you know, I could have cherry picked information that agrees with my thoughts.
I would rather you go through the process yourself.
