Robert Trivers quotes
People are often unconscious of some of the mechanisms that naturally occur in them in a biased way.
Robert Trivers
Let me give you another, the way in which group membership can entrain language-usages that are self-deceptive. You can divide people into in-groups or out-groups, or use naturally occurring in-groups and out-groups, and if someone's a member of your in-group and they do something nice, you give a general description of it – "he's a generous person".
Robert Trivers
But it's exactly the other way around for an out-group member.
Robert Trivers
