Cognitive Dissonance

That which is one is one


 


That which is not one is also one


 


Chaing Tzu


Can what you think may be


turn out more like what you thought


even if it doesn’t?


Can many believe what they want


even if what they want to believe isn’t true?


 


Media Bias Largely Unseen in US Presidential Race


 


News Agency Post-Election Headline


If different people


can feel apathy, shock, denial, anger, guilt, depression or acceptance simultaneously


can contradictory facts be rationalized by different people differently


at the same time?


Can expectation effect perception?


 


A myth is a fixed way of looking at the world which cannot be destroyed


because, looked at through the myth


all evidence supports that myth


 


Edward de Bono


What if what you think isn’t?
