Daniel Bryan Drops Deep Tweet About Deceiving Himself

Daniel Bryan is a deep thinker, and sometimes those thoughts can get away from him. He recently shared a term and wondered if he is actually guilty of thinking that way.

Bryan, who is thought to be in a great position to receive a WrestleMania main event match, tweeted out the definition for “motivated reasoning.” Essentially this is the act of only picking facts that support your argument. He then wondered if this act of lying to himself to boost his own agenda is something that he actually does.

Motivated Reasoning: the tendency to cherry-pick facts that support conclusions and beliefs we’re vested in maintaining.

“Self-deception allows one to behave self-interestedly while, at the same time, falsely believing that one’s moral principles were upheld.”
