We Believe Both Things

How Moral Contradictions Become a Way of Life

We condemn it.
We benefit from it.
And we don't see a contradiction.

This book examines hypocrisy not as a flaw, but as a stable psychological and social strategy. A way of holding incompatible beliefs without resolving them because resolution would be costly.

We Believe Both Things explores how moral contradictions are normalized, shared, and protected, allowing people and institutions to maintain self-image while participating in outcomes they claim to oppose.

This is not a book about calling people out.
It is about how contradiction becomes functional.

If you've ever noticed the gap between what is said and what is sustained this book lives in that space.
