Self-Deception Argument

A Self-Deception Argument is a deception argument told by a self-deceiver (in a self-deception act).

  • “Do not do X because you belong to psychological type Y (e.g. I'm an introvert)."
  • “Follow orders from that authority figure because it is a safe assumption.”
  • “Abuse your partner because you are expected to be a strong authority figure.”
  • “Stay in your abusive relationship because you fear failure.”
