I’m not sure if there’s any particular evidence that suggests that your model of others based on yourself is based only on your conscious mind.
In fact, I suspect that the model is partially based on unconscious processes. I guess I’m just throwing out a hypothetical—the tendency toward unconscious hypocrisy could come from game theoretic considerations together with the conscious mind playing a greater role than the unconscious mind in modeling other people based on one’s own mind.
Thanks for your feedback. I agree with:
