The Seven Deadly Sins...Not So Deadly

Perhaps especially today, too many people tend to be reflexive rather than reflective. In psychologist Daniel Kahnemann’s terms, they succumb to Level 1 thinking when Level 2 would be wiser.

My PsychologyToday.com article today attempts to show that even seemingly clearly bad human characteristics, the so-called 7 Deadly Sins, have a defensible other side. The hope is that it might inspire readers to look between the poles for nuance, for that’s often where wisdom lies, whether it’s in what to believe, whom to consort with, or whom to vote for in 2020.
