And since it was the early 80's, good chance Deborah really was Harry.

Double down on the bias. This is a crazy experiment with some very cool observations about what makes us human.


EDIT: This conclusion on the study "Do not get people to describe their beliefs publicly if you want to change them." is counter to the usefulness virtue signalling. Virtue signalling would actually be harmful to drawing people to your cause.

I had just read a similar study to this not that long ego about an end of the world cult. When the date came and went for "the end", instead of questioning their beliefs, many of them doubled down on them too.

Edit: Cognitive Dissonance is what it was about.
