When I can't explain my reasoning to other person without a feeling of guilt that I am slightly manipulating them.
I am better at noticing when I lie to other people, than when I lie to myself. Maybe it's because I have to fully verbalize my arguments, so it is easier to notice the weak parts that would otherwise be skipped. Maybe it's because when I talk to someone, I model how would they react if they had all the information I have, and this gives me an outside view.
How do you notice when you're rationalizing? Like, what *actually* tips you off, in real life?
I've listed my cues below; please add your own (one idea per comment), and upvote the comments that you either: (a) use; or (b) will now try using.
I'll be using this list in a trial rationality seminar on Wednesday; it also sounds useful in general.
