Preach! (Practice not Included): A Qualified Defense of Hypocrisy.
Hypocrisy is generally treated as particularly repugnant, perhaps the "only unforgivable sin." I argue that this attitude is misplaced. Hypocrisy—especially quotidian hypocrisy by the average citizen—plays an essential role in maintaining and promoting a good society. Hypocrisy facilitates the estab...
