Yeah, kinda weird that everybody is so focused on inconsistencies. These questions directly relate to underlying assumptions for support for various public policies. Does HN think people have coherent views on public policies?
- tobyjsullivan 5y agoWe are all biased toward thinking we personally hold coherent views. We’re also biased toward thinking we’re average in our capabilities (amongst our in-groups, at least). So it would stand to reason that those biases compose to believing our entire in-group, on average, holds coherent views. We’re rarely wise enough to estimate our own margins of error, nor self-aware enough to know our own actual capabilities relative to others.
