"Mercier and Sperber say that reason is a tool that evolved to solve particular problems related to communication, like evaluating information provided by others, convincing family or tribe members with arguments, and justifying one’s behavior to protect and improve one’s reputation in a complex social world."
Hmmm. That thing about "justifying one's behavior" sounds so familiar. Where have I heard that before?

Hi List,
Just thought I would share that I happened to see this post in Nautilus on how we might approach the science of reason:
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__nautil.us_blog_the-2Dproblem-2Dwith-2Dthe-2Dway-2Dscientists-2Dstudy-2Dreason&d=DwIFaQ&c=eLbWYnpnzycBCgmb7vCI4uqNEB9RSjOdn_5nBEmmeq0&r=HPo1IXYDhKClogP-UOpybo6Cfxxz-jIYBgjO2gOz4-A&m=1MZSdS8Rr28LrckV6MfiwiCT-cpTIfLA6bsiQxMN6S0&s=c_hZcOcKmcn02GHjwMnTWtf-1gWw3XwdymoTvTn8O_c&e=
It is by Hugo Mercier’s student. You may recall, he was the guy I had some “issues” with in terms of the Justification Hypothesis.
