In this "Lessons" episode, Robin Hanson, Economics Professor and author of The Elephant in the Brain, explores how hidden motives shape human behavior more than we realize. He explains why our subconscious is designed to mask true intentions, making self-assessment unreliable, and how studying average patterns in behavior reveals deeper truths. Hanson discusses laughter, conversation, politics, and other everyday areas as examples of where stated motives don’t match real ones, challenging us to rethink the stories we tell ourselves. This conversation offers a revealing look at why we don’t know our real motives and how uncovering them can reshape our understanding of human nature.
