And also not possible. Ever. 

 

Which gives us the options to either actively counteract our biases (difficult), or simply accept that we have them, and give our positions in context of said, so we can collectively ballance them out.

I don't agree with that. It may be impossible to be completely objective, but biases can be set aside.

Any argument or observation we make is reliant on a certain number of statements we consider true without further justification (and these statements tend to be much more specific and much less fundemental than we would hope them to be) - these axioms can be different, between 2 individuals, which can lead to different conclusions. This difference is what I what describe as a bias.

 

Saying that one can be without bias implies that there exist fundemental, unquestionable truths with which we may form our justifications - that cannot be, most certainly not for something as subjective, emotion-based as the quality of art, or the ethical faults of a company.
