Rationalization is probably the one that was the most enlightening. I tend to sometimes (knowingly) think in that way, but didn’t necessarily view it as a negative thing (and didn’t know the term) before reading the tag description here. Confirmation Bias seems like it’s related to (or could be a part of) rationalization as well. Another one that stood out was Akrasia.
These are the ones that stood out to me initially. Looking now at the Concepts page again, I feel like I should at some point check out all of the terms at least by hovering over them, because there are a lot of ones that look interesting or may have a deeper meaning than they might seem to at first sight.
