I don’t know. If I did, I’d probably try to do something about it. But my subconscious mind seems to have prevented me from noticing examples. I don’t doubt that they exist, lurking behind the blind spot of self-delusion. But I can’t name a single one.
Feynman: “The first principle is that you must not fool yourself—and you are the easiest person to fool.”
