That's a good post. No disagreements, really.

I want a succinct word to encapsulate this behavior. It's like a child that eats a whole tub of ice cream against your advice, and then gets mad at you that they feel sick. "Stupid" is a word that would come to mind, but I think better can be done. Something with "Solipsism" maybe?

It's also frustrating when you catch them red-handed adopting a position they recently held the opposite stance on. I'm just like, why don't you care about the hypocrisy?
