Most of the time, our justifications for doing anything are post-hoc: we decide based on gut reasoning, then invent a justification after we’ve already made up our minds in order to convince ourselves that we’re creatures of logic.

Woah, are you telling me that people are not rational thinking creatures instead act purely on emotion. Cause I fully support that statement.

We have stop using the “reasonable, rational thinking” person as a standard. If people were truly that, there would be a lot less people in debt, more people taking care of their health before problems arose, and less bullshit overall.
