The article discusses how human reasoning often relies on biased shortcuts, leading to contradictions in our beliefs. This "Ã la carte logic" allows us to pick and choose arguments that fit our pre-existing views, but as we encounter diverse experiences and cognitive challenges, these closed belief systems can reveal their inconsistencies. Rather than seeking consistency, the article encourages embracing awareness and adaptability as important elements for growth, acknowledging that we all possess some level of hypocrisy in our reasoning.

Closed belief systems eventually contradict themselves.
Don't aim for consistency. Aim for awareness and adaptability.
