I particularly identified with the following passage:
Does this remind you of a blog post I made a few months ago?First, I remind myself of the phenomenon of unconscious overclaiming; i.e., we
unconsciously overestimate our contributions or skills relative to other
people’s. This makes sense, because of course we’re far more aware of what
we do than what other people do. According to Jonathan Haidt’s The Happiness Hypothesis, “When husbands and wives estimate the percentage
of housework each does, their estimates total more than 120 percent.”

No, remind me of the blog post you made a few months ago.
And you know, the Happiness Hypothesis IS accurate, because I KNOW I do 115% of the housework and Chris does 5%.
