Are You Self Deceiving Yourself?
Robin Hanson: Can we try to shine a light at the things we're unaware of? We humans are social creatures. Plausibly being social is the main reason we have these unusually large brains. And so the things we are very obsessed with and constantly paying attention to are, how do I look to others? What would others think of me if they knew these various things they might learn about me? So that's close to being fundamental. It means to be human is caring what others think.
