One data point: I notice myself rationalizing, or starting to rationalize, many times a week.

I might task inexpensive virtual assistants (from third-world countries) with finding YouTube clips of people rationalizing on TV (the easiest candidates are probably Fox News people, politicians, etc.)

  Give an example of what kind of event you are referring to?

  What are efficient ways of training assistants to recognize rationalization and/or recognizing that they can already do so?
