So interesting. I vaguely remember hearing about fundamental attribution error in under-undergrad--most likely AP Psych or perhaps I randomly read about it in some pop psych book, but I spend an unnatural time thinking about the context of others people's lives. I don't think this makes me a better person, because I still strongly dislike some people, but I do think it's made me better at defending someone else's life choices when asked to think about them critically.
Now if only there was a way to stop hating people all together. That would be very pleasant.
