Strategic or Expressive; Fast or Slow
Captions available
The idea
People think fast, almost automatically, or slow, with effort; slow is hard, so fast prevails. Action is strategic, or instrumental, when aimed at an objective, and expressive when it reveals who one is. Either can be self-interested or public-spirited.
In practice
Voting to help a candidate and to seem a voter.
Where people slip
