Some psychologists disprove the Law of non-contradiction* on daily basis and make poor Aristotle turn in his grave. How do they do it?
For the benefit of humanity, in their lectures and books they criticize the cognitive biases as weaknesses in human thinking. To the detriment of humanity, they sell their knowledge of cognitive biases to various advertisers and employers (who want to know how to deceive their customers and employees). And in the evening, unlike Aristotle, they sleep peacefully in their beds.
