'''Personal bias suppression''' (also called '''~~schema~~ suppression''') can be described as a removal of the cultural and individual biases which ~~human beings~~ knowingly or unknowingly ~~filter~~ and ~~interpret~~ their perception of the world through during everyday life.

'''Personal bias suppression''' (also called '''cultural filter suppression''') can be described as a removal of the cultural and individual biases which a person knowingly or unknowingly filters and interprets their perception of the world through during everyday life.

The ~~idea~~ that the opinions and decisions of people are based upon a consistent and unconscious tendency to notice and assign significance to observations that confirm existing beliefs whilst filtering out and rationalizing observations that do not confirm pre-existing beliefs is a well-established concept within the scientific literature. This is known as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confirmation_bias confirmation bias]. ~~This~~ exists within varying degrees ~~across all people~~, but is significantly stronger for those with emotionally charged issues and deeply entrenched cultural beliefs.

The notion that the opinions and decisions of people are based upon a consistent and unconscious tendency to notice and assign significance to observations that confirm existing beliefs whilst filtering out and rationalizing observations that do not confirm pre-existing beliefs is a well-established concept within the scientific literature. This is known as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confirmation_bias confirmation bias].<ref>Confirmation bias: A ubiquitous phenomenon in many guises | http://psycnet.apa.org/record/1998-02489-003</ref><ref>What is confirmation bias (PsychologyToday) | https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/science-choice/201504/what-is-confirmation-bias</ref><ref>Confirmation bias (sciencedaily) | https://www.sciencedaily.com/terms/confirmation_bias.htm</ref> It exists within all people to varying degrees, but is significantly stronger for those with emotionally charged issues and deeply entrenched cultural beliefs.

The suppression of this tendency~~, however, seems to consistently show people~~ that ~~many~~ aspects of ~~their~~ personality, ~~perspective~~ and culture are ~~often merely~~ subjective or delusional ideas ~~and not~~ an objective reality. This ~~experience~~ often leads ~~onto~~ deep states of ~~[[analysis enhancement|introspection]],~~ insight and analysis which can create ~~profound~~ alterations in perspective that last anywhere from days, weeks, months or years after the experience itself.

The suppression of this tendency commonly induces the realization that certain aspects of one's personality, world view and culture are in fact subjective or even delusional ideas as opposed to an objective reality. This realization often leads into deep states of insight and analysis which can create signifigant alterations in one's perspective that last anywhere from days, weeks, months or years after the experience itself.

Personal bias suppression is a very common effect under the influence of [[dosage#common|common]] to [[dosage#heavy|heavy]] dosages of [[hallucinogen|hallucinogens]] such as [[dissociative|dissociatives]] and [[psychedelic|psychedelics]]. However, other compounds such as [[entactogen|entactogens]] and [[cannabinoid|cannnabinoids]] can inconsistently induce this effect under the influence of heavy dosages.
