NEW EPISODE TOMORROW 1 PM EST!! What if the most dangerous lies are the ones you don’t even realize you’re telling yourself?
Documentary filmmaker, author, and Dilemma Podcast host Jay Shapiro joins the show to explore cognitive dissonance, moral integrity, and why human beings are remarkably good at rationalizing their own beliefs and behavior.
We discuss the psychology experiment behind his new book Insufficient Rewards, why people can genuinely believe their own rationalizations, the “honest hypocrite,” the rise and fall of the Intellectual Dark Web, what Jay has learned interviewing controversial thinkers, how history changes the way we judge moral decisions, and whether it’s possible to build a society that asks people to compromise their integrity less often.
Documentary filmmaker, author, and Dilemma Podcast host Jay Shapiro joins the World XP Podcast to explore cognitive dissonance, moral integrity, and how human beings can rationalize their way into genuinely believing things that conflict with their own values. We discuss the psychology of self-deception, why admitting hypocrisy can actually be a sign of honesty, the rise and decline of the Intellectual Dark Web, how history shapes our moral judgments, the aftermath of October 7 within Jay’s intellectual circle, and the ideas behind his new book, Insufficient Rewards: How We Traded Integrity for Comfort and Outsourced Morality to History.
