Oh nice. I’ve heard of a fundamental attribution error before but didnt realise it was this.
You commonly see it written as “we judge ourselves by our inte twins but others by their actions”.
Using the examples in that wikipedia page, if we are late for work it doesn’t matter because we intended to be on time. If others are late it indicates a lack of planning or dedication.
Fair enough I guess.
Bike lights are intended to be super annoying to the point of being obnoxious here. They need to be bright and flashy enough for oblivious drivers to actually notice you.
