Hypocrisy is, as we all know, a fault - refusing to practice what one preaches as it were. Imposing stuff on others while making an exception of yourself, the rules are for others but you're exempt (re Kant's Categorical Imperative).

This post is going to focus on logic/rationality/critical thinking + language for the simple reason that they seem to be critical keystones to everything else.

1. Logic can't justify itself. If it tries to, it fails to meet its own standards by committing the circulus in probando fallacy.

2. Self-reference in language leads to a plethora of contradictions (the liar paradox, the Grelling-Nelson paradox, etc.), variations of which have been deployed to undermine other logical systems like mathematics (vide Gödel's Incompleteness Theorems).

To my reckoning it's not too much of a stretch, therefore, to claim that the entire system we've built for ourselves (based on language + logic) is experiencing a Hypocrisy Crisis, our system will forever remain incomplete, no bootstrapping possible.
