To Carlin's insight, which captures the essence of naïve realism as well as any experiment we know, we would add the observation that people characteristically see those who are less honest than themselves on their income tax returns as cheats and those who are more honest as naïve; by the same token, they see others who want to move slower than they do in the direction of any particular social reform as reactionaries and those who advocate moving faster than they deem prudent as unrealistic dreamers.
