Good piece! This is counterintuitive to me & while I cannot deny that it's consequentially better to preach persuasively about positive things you don't practice than to do neither, I still have a very strong dislike of genuine hypocrisy (rather than unintentional inconsistency).https://twitter.com/AreoMagazine/status/983652535255810048 …

And I don't think there are very many people who engage in knowing & deliberate hypocrisy, because we nearly all want to believe we are good and morally consistent people. We need to feel this way to live with ourselves.

Most often, I suspect, someone who appears to be behaving hypocritically is not aware of the inconsistency which stems from their biased intuitions or has recognised it but rationalised it away to appease their cognitive dissonance & continue indulging biased intuitions.

Gotta disagree. For instance, if I profess publicly that Star Trek is better than Star Wars (it isn't btw), then go home and watch star wars and play with my lightsaber, is this fundamentally morally wrong?? No, because Star Wars is fucking awesome.
