Findings - Deep Down, We Can’t Fool Even Ourselves - NYTimes.com
Psychologists running experiments to identify hypocrisy--that I will declare something to be "wrong" and then excuse myself from my own standard.
At the end of the article, they tried testing their hypothesis: can we be less hypocritical by distracting our brains. They tested "yes"--do mental math when tempted to by a hypocrite and your "gut" will have a stronger say in Right and Wrong.
One of my personal hypocrisies has been cellphones while driving. I condemn others, but still practice it myself.
