Have you ever hidden your wallet in a really clever place? So clever that you yourself forgot where it was, thus removing all cleverness from the hiding place?
A new study may explain why that is–you think you’re smarter than everyone else.
Don’t feel bad, everyone else thinks they’re smarter than you too. This study found that humans have a disconnect between where they hide things and where they look for things.
That disconnect comes from the inherent belief that we are each more clever than the next person. Basically we’re programmed to be arrogant.
Isn’t that a horrible thought? I am all for self-confidence, but being pre-wired to think that you are smarter than everyone else just seems downright pompous. Not to mention it cannot possibly be true.
What were these study people thinking? Why would we want to know this?
…and lastly, I think the big question has been over-looked. Why are you hiding your wallet from yourself?
