"Cognitive Dissonance -

​

COGNITIVE

DISSONANCE? ...

​

What does that mean?

​

Well its like -

When you've got -

Two CONFLICTING -

IDEAS

In your -

HEAD

​

One is CLEARLY and

OBVIOUSLY -

SELF EVIDENTLY -

True.

​

The other is -

HOPELESSLY

False.

​

But you -

REFUSE

To accept the -

TRUTH -

Why? -

Because it makes you feel UNCOMFORTABLE -

​

You prefer the

LIE

To the

TRUTH.

​

Don't get it?

​

Well -

Its like this -

​

A dear old friend

Punches you in the face

Knocks out your front teeth.

​

Yeah - ...

​

And - Umm...

You say -

To him -

"Oh - thanks for the -

DENTAL FLOSS"

​

- Don't get it?

​

Hmm -

Well -

​

A dear old friend

Invites you to dinner

​

Yes.

​

You arrive -

​

Yes.

​

There's a table with plates -

And people seated around the table -

​

Yeah -

​

And there's no space for you

​

- Well?

​

And there's a great big -

COOKING POT

Bubbling away -

In a corner of the room

​

Well...

​

What you don't get it? -

​

No -

What do you mean? -

What are you trying to say?

​

OK -

Then they tell you -

To take off your clothes -

And get into the cooking pot

​

Ehhh?

​

You get into the cooking pot -

And you say -

​

"Hey -

It's warm in here -

Where's my -

DINNER?"

​

Now that's -

​

Cognitive

DISSONANCE!"
