The moral of the story is, even if you find yourself holding a certain mind bug or bias you can still be considered a good person. In fact “we do not yet know how to go about either eliminating or outsmarting self-directed mind bugs. However, they may prove modifiable by exposure to role models” (Banaji and Greenwald 164). In fact, it would take generations to condition our brains to not hold these stereotypes about others and to stop the judgement. If there is one lesson to be learned from this book it is that yes, we will hold biases about others that may or may not be true. But the way that we deal with them internally says a lot about the type of person we are, and the type of people we would want to associate
