Maybe someone else needs a translation in to what Lau is saying :)

This statement suggests that if you’re not actively questioning and challenging your own biases, you’re setting yourself up for self-deception. Here’s a simple breakdown:

• Bias: Everyone has unconscious beliefs or assumptions that shape how they see the world. These can be influenced by upbringing, culture, emotions, or personal experiences.

• Merciless Quest: This means being relentless in examining and questioning those biases, even when it’s uncomfortable.

• Fooling Yourself: If you don’t do this, you risk believing things that may not be true, simply because they feel right or familiar.

• Witless Oblivion: This is a dramatic way of saying you’ll end up lost in ignorance, unaware of the truth and unable to think clearly.

So, in short: If you don’t question your own thinking, you’ll end up blindly believing things that might not be true, which can lead to poor decisions and a lack of real understanding.
