I think we all underestimate how much of our attitudes are just piles of anecdotes. We're incredible at building up notions from observation, and I think especially when we talk about issues like implicit bias...you can't "unlearn" it because it wasn't received as learning, it was received as seeing, as direct experience, because if you're not aware that you're being taught a view with suppositions and alternatives, you won't look any more closely at your experience. Maybe more vitally, you will not develop the skills or habits to observe HOW self is built up out of experience.
This is true for all of us, we experience and perceive our way into and out of things, including selves. Learning is real but it does not really encompass the meaning of ontology and identity formation -- to regard that formation as "Learning" already makes a huge supposition about the nature of truth and views. It supposes that when I "Learn" I am absorbing information about the state of things, more or less the way we can for physics -- this construct doesn't hold up well to closer scrutiny. Learning a skill is totally different from learning a scaffolding concept, which is different from learning a habitual response, which is different from learning social convention, which is different from observational inferences, and all of these are subject to error.
Using the same word for such diverse processes of change is an example of why you may sometimes hear me talk down on Western philosophy and science -- it's not that it's totally useless, but when you grasp how much materialism really compresses empirical data to be "useful" it begins to get absurd.
The goal was not to become gurus and be revered by many. One who has reached the highest state and become liberated, what indeed could such a person ask for himself in return for teaching Dhamma? He is not there for any commercial exchange in return for teaching Dhamma. There is but one goal, the goal of compassion - "Oh, the people are so miserable, so miserable. The rich and the poor, literate and illiterate, young and old, men and women are all seeking a way out of their misery". His heart fills with compassion. How to bring them out of their misery? There is but one way. Show them the way to come out of their defilements, to come out of craving, aversion and blind attachment. With this teaching they could truly find their highest welfare, a way to be happy. Asking for nothing in return, compassionate giving becomes very worthwhile. Asking for nothing in return, not even from those whom he has taught makes him a good teacher. The one who teaches true Dhamma does not ever create a sect. Glorifying himself, he does not demand reverence, or enforce fear of sin and hell lest those who are taught wander off. He does not encourage blind faith. There is but one goal and that is to help people come out of misery, he shows them the path of truth...
Trapped in a cave, thickly overspread, sunk in delusion they stay.

Three kinds of people are bound for a place of loss
Daily Words of the Buddha for December 09, 2025
Kāyena saṃvutā dhīrā, atho vācāya saṃvutā manasā saṃvutā dhīrā. Te ve suparisaṃvutā. Listen
The wise are controlled in bodily action, controlled in speech and controlled in thought. They are truly well-controlled.
