Another thing the brain is good at: divergence between actual and stated motives. Even if you don't bullshit, and put up a very careful performance of justifying your behaviors as being for X, other humans will generally figure it out if you're actually solving for Y.

This is why deep cover spies have to have a lot of training. Humans are naturally good at cutting through amateur levels of motivation fakery. Occam's razor. If there's a simpler explanation for my behavior than the one I'm offering, you'll sense it even if you can't finger it.

In as few as 4-5 observations you'll generally sense true motives. Like "whatever he's pretending, X is usually trying to get laid" or "she's always about the $"
What makes people bad at reading others is not inability to sense true-motives signs, but to trust what they sense

You know the real secret of redpilling (in general sense, not MRA sense)?
It is giving people permission to believe what they already subconsciously know is true. They lack courage, not information or inferential skill.
