Hypocrisy isn't bad, actually it's good because at least the hypocrite knows what's right even if they don't do it

there's an ilx post i think of sometimes that's along the lines of "any attitude beyond total apathy produces hypocrisy"
― brimstead, Thursday, 7 December 2017 16:27 (six years ago) link
Hypocrisy is like the factory setting for human beings. We're basically walking talking self-mythologizing cognitive dissonance machines by default.

I think adolescents care a great deal about hypocrisy, and adults just care about what gets done? But that's probably my own bias.

I guess in one sense it's better to know what's right and not do it then to not know what's right and not do it. I think the badness of hypocrisy has something to do with its undermining your position to make moral demands on other people. If you make a moral demand on others that you're not willing to satisfy yourself, then you're basically contradicting the demand.

Do as I say, not as I do!
In his essay about Lynch, DFW swears up and down that the neighbor at the end of Blue Velvet actually eats a bug immediately after broadcasting her disgust about a bird eating a bug. If true, it's probably the canniest observation of human behavior in cinema history.

80% of 'hypocrisy' is just things being different. 'How can you be against the death penalty when you eat meat?' Stuff like that.
― Frederik B, Thursday, 7 December 2017 17:21 (six years ago) link
that isn't hypocrisy, that's a poor misreading of what hypocrisy is by the person that utters it

FWIW, I feel like most of the rampant hypocrisy that people are engaged in almost all of the time is nothing catastrophic. It's mostly like: my self-perception is not a wholly accurate reflection of my engagement with the world. It's just important imo to be aware that these things will always be at least a little out of sync and to always be tweaking.

I guess in one sense it's better to know what's right and not do it then to not know what's right and not do it.I think there's a solid case to be made that the former is worse than the latter!
