This is such a perfect illustration of the premise behind Elephant in the Brain :O how our brain had to evolve to hide our true motives from ourselves so we can appear more convincing to others (pardon my clumsy paraphrasing @robinhanson @KevinSimler )

This one came up in a private discussion I was having about this tweet https://twitter.com/backus/status/987223845575639040 …
still fits some themes of Elephan in the Brain but unlike some of my other recent tweets this one isn't a total copy and paste from the book
