Abstract

Human behavior is highly diverse, and often deviates from that which is socially normative. We find evidence of a naïve naiveté –people believe themselves to be more aware and accepting than their peers of the diverse kinds of sex, comedy, art, food, culture, entertainment, and drugs that people consume.
