Bias is just a quick attention filter for all one deems irrelevant

Meh. Evolutionary pressures promote things that are "good enough at the time", not necessarily optimal. Considering the vast differences between the world over evolutionary timeframes and the modern world we operate in, it's something at least worth reconsidering.

Bias is a heuristic that works good enough almost all the time.

You can be traditional and conservative without much thinking. Just do what worked for your grand parents. It's learnable and a winning strategy almost all the time.

Progressives need to skip the shortcuts though. If you try out new things, you are wrong almost all the time on an individual level and some things are wrong on a longer time scale and more catastrophically than others. Be progressive with the mushrooms you eat and you might kill yourself. Be progressive with how to manage the world and you might end up with total annihilation.

Biased on generating, consuming, and storing energy efficiently

if nature didn't nature then we wouldn't have nature

Maybe there’s some genetic engineering in there as well as evolution.
