Political scientists have proven that to understand what people think or will do.
You should ask them to predict what others think or might do.
It makes total sense.
If you ask a person if they'll be late, they'll say no.
Ask their friend, and they'll say it's very likely.
To get by—humans need to believe the most in themselves—and think the most carefully about others.
When asked about people generally, we have a magical instinct to consider almost everyone in society.
We can finally ask fewer people, to learn more about us.
By asking: “How likely are people to...?”
We learn what the majority will do or think.
