Why Everyone (Else) Is a Hypocrite
Evolution and the Modular Mind
Recommended by Nassim Nicholas Taleb, and 1 others. See all reviewsRanked #53 in Evolutionary Psychology
We're all hypocrites. Why? Hypocrisy is the natural state of the human mind.
Robert Kurzban shows us that the key to understanding our behavioral inconsistencies lies in understanding the mind's design. The human mind consists of many specialized units designed by the process of evolution by natural selection. While these modules sometimes work together seamlessly, they don't always, resulting in impossibly contradictory beliefs, vacillations between patience and impulsiveness, violations of our supposed moral principles, and overinflated views of ourselves.
