RE: An Objective Look at Vote Buying Bots and Some Other Steemit Stuff
Our brain tricks us into not noticing. That's why we never realize our hypocrisies.
I know this is true, at least some of the time. But it's so hard to believe. In both ways: hard to believe that others are unknowing hypocrites, rather than conscious of it. And hard to believe that I'm an unknowing hypocrite at times. (I need to figure out how to figure out what those times are...)
Definitely worth keeping in mind.
I get your point, but it's worth remembering that our number one skill as humans is to lie to ourselves without us even noticing. It sucks, and it's possible to stay cognisant about, but it takes effort.
It's probably easier the smarter you are, though.
