The BPS invited a bunch of psychologists to name things they didn’t understand about themselves, and while some of them took it as an opportunity to muse about consciousness and neurons, a bunch kept it real, and said, in essence–if I KNOW why people make certain mistakes, and I even studied it–why do I keep making the same mistakes?

We’ve all got tropes we keep repeating even when we know what we do, why we do it and why we shouldn’t–my topic of the day on Double X.
