      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 …

      Evolutionary psychologists have a strong hypothesis that hypocrisy is so hateful to us because detecting, deterring & banishing freeloaders has been so important to our survival in evolutionary terms. I think it still is important on the level of personal relationships.

      There is something fundamentally wrong morally with a person who habitually & deliberately presents one set of values while acting against them in secret. There could be exceptions for external duress, psychological crisis etc. But mostly, no.

      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.

          Then you have yet to experience Latin countries. Hypocrisy is our ‘inter’-cultural sport. The more brazen, the better.

          Good point! It's not just about not looking like hypocrites to others (which I emphasized) but also to ourselves. But it's something we need to get over (as much as we can, anyway).pic.twitter.com/YxvOxhPP0g

          Is there a word for an incoherence between an immediate emotional reaction and a later cool, rational reflection?

          Like wanting revenge for a slight but then deciding against it after some thought.
