Against what or whom is your prejudice?
Women? Gay? Muslims? Quants?
Prostitution? Gambling? Politics?
Traditionally, if we go learn about the stories, talk and connect with those people, get a behind-the-scene view of what they do, and why they do it, we'll have a good chance of changing our original perspectives.
With the advance of neuroscience (or the techniques of tweaking our minds?) changing our views & beliefs becomes much easier than ever before. If we care to spend time and energy, we can change our views on almost anything, anybody, without having to learn their stories first-hand. You know what I mean.
Which means we have the ability to Decide what we believe is 'right', whatever it is. It's no longer about figuring out what is right; it's about deciding what is right, then figuring out how to make ourselves believe it.
This can be a powerful tool. A powerful tool can be a destructive weapon.
Since we can make ourselves believe anything we want, whatever we do we're able to make ourselves believe it's right. When right or wrong is no longer a question, what drives our decision and action?
How about material benefits?
