Why Everyone Thinks They’re the Reasonable One

You and your friend read the exact same message. Same phone, same five words. You’re sure she’s mad. He’s sure she’s fine. And each of you thinks the other one is being unreasonable. Why does everyone feel like the reasonable one? In this video we look at a famous 1951 football game, naive realism (the feeling that you see the world as it really is), the dress that split the internet, the bias blind spot, and the false consensus effect. Plus 3 simple ways to notice your own “window” and have better arguments. What’s something you were 100% sure about... and turned out to be wrong? Tell me in the comments. I read every single one.
