That's an attempt to fix your cognitive dissonance about religion because you don't understand it, it way safer to think that it's false and only serves the purpose of giving sense to poor-minded humans desperate for help. May make sense, you're still trying to be consistent in your thoughts :)
@@noefaure7661 Yeah, for example I am trapped in religion. I'm an unbeliever and by becoming a godmother, I created a terrible cognitive dissonance for myself. Now I'm suffering bcs of my conformity and low self-esteem. Be mindful :')
There has been a lot of research done about the topic, I just learned about it minutes ago, watched two short videos and I think I can talk about it much better than he did. He spoke about their relationship with Michael, their lives and a lot of unnecessary information that has nothing to do with Cognitive Dissonance.
sometimes cognitive dissonance can be used as a positive tool. I use it all the time to improve myself. I think this is how "positive affirmations" work. You say something like, "I am a brilliant person!". When reality doesn't match that you change your behavior to seem more brilliant. You force yourself to work harder to finish a degree or learn new things to get closer to being brilliant. The only problem is it never changes that underlying feeling that you are a fraud. You will eventually have people saying you are brilliant, but it isn't the motivator for continued improvement. You are motivated by the dissonance that continues. Maybe that was a factor in why this guy was such a good lyricist and composer. Maybe his schema was all invented by himself and he was just fighting cognitive dissonance all the time.
You can remove that fnal little bit by Completely removing the previous bleief so that you dont feel any relation to it, and then replacing it with your new belief that you want. ... It is just in identifying the correct beleif to inhibit, that alligns overall with what you want in life, thus alligning youself to it!.
In a world I inhabit, we have an alternative word to schema, with roughly the same meaning. That word is Gestalt, or, very roughly, picture (or formation or pattern). We all make pictures all the time of many aspects of our experience, in order to make some sense.
Hypocrisy is winning. Do as I say, not as I do or even say... I can do whatever I want, whenever I want, as long as it benefits me at some level even if it contradicts something... the point is... I need to win and get what I want.
Ok, you do realize how many animals die in the process of planting, growing & harvesting the crops used to make your soy burgers right? Cognitive dissonance if you don't.
@@briefcaseblues6061 Veganism is when you try to REDUCE animal suffering. It is almost impossible to eliminate it completely so I don't know what your point is.
@@SaikiJax You can also try to reduce animal suffering WITHOUT being vegan. So what is your point? Veganism isn't the only strategy that is possible...
@@jsolange so yeah, you're totally right, let's do nothing because reducing our impact on the planet is still degrading it a bit, so we'd better do nothing. Agree with you
I wasted 17 minutes listening to this pathetic, rambling story when all he need have said is: cognitive dissonance occurs when a person holds contradictory beliefs, ideas, or values.
Nah, he was teaching people that anyone not following the main stream propaganda is medically unfit to frolicking the earth. Only the legacy perverts have that right and their zombie class creatures. 🧟♂️ 🧟♀️ 🧟♂️ 😷 🤒 🤢 ⚕ 🩺
@@sophiachick3901 why? 2 opposing thoughts we think or want to think about is just searching and applying meaning to what we are thinking Using words like dissonance is a generic term trying to say that there is a problem with it you know I'm right.
You don't need the term, but you need to know this exists and how to behave when this happens to you. You need to know that you need to take a second, gather all the facts and reorganize your thoughts based on the facts. So that you can prevent scnarios like Michael's. And to achieve this, terms help. We name things because we need to reference them. This clearly needs to be referenced in this way, to teach people how to handle the situation when their beliefs hit a wall of the harsh reality.
I just had the realization that the purpose of religion is to create a "story" to fix cognitive dissonance. It makes perfect sense now.

@@angelikakotala6303 You are right. It gets better. Stay strong. Reality can be hurtful but still better than living in fantasy land.
The title of this video should be “about my friend Michael”
yes!
Exactly, he just goes on about his friend and only gives the definition and one example.
Agreed
Thank you for sharing this and honoring your friend, Michael with us.

Thank you for sharing Ted, a really engaging talk. Sorry for the loss of your friend Michael.
I always come to the comments and check before I look at these goofy required videos for my PSYCH class. Thank you all for sparing me a pain.
What a beautiful painful story. Perhaps this will help someone before it's too late.

Very personal journey shared in understanding Cognitive Dissonance with informative help. Thank you🌺Namaste
Cognitive dissonance is extremely uncomfortable and painful.
@The South I know from personal experience.
it could be very uncumfortable,.
Wow I accidentally opened this video but I was actually useful!
The Comboldam Make that two of us.
yes, you were actually usedfool, wait a second....

Well done, Ted!

Great job explaining cognitive dissonance. 👏🏽👏🏽
Title way off.....
The quality of TED is hitting the bottom with these stories about Michael who banged you and you feel in love with him after a party...
Yes, we do that in India!
Very powerful message.
When it comes to animal agriculture and eating animal products....
Ok, you do realize how many animals die in the process of planting, growing & harvesting the crops used to make your soy burgers right?
Cognitive dissonance if you don't.

Nice!
Who else thought that was Jimmy Kimmel?
Mee! Bro he even kinda talks like him too 😊
I wasted 17 minutes listening to this pathetic, rambling story when all he need have said is: cognitive dissonance occurs when a person holds contradictory beliefs, ideas, or values.
But their agenda is to commit honest rational civilians to be medically incorrect.
Religion is much more than rituals. People feel better because the Holy Spirit is intervening.
People feel better because of placebo
wtf this is not cognitive dissonance! hate this misleading video!
He looks like Jimmy Kimmel
🤔
What drugs cure aids?
ZOT
Yeah, dude, nobody wanted to hear about Michael.
wtf did i just listen to
FIRST COMMENT
👏👏👏
What a waste of time this was. All he did was talk about his lover
Nah, he was teaching people that anyone not following the main stream propaganda is medically unfit to frolicking the earth. Only the legacy perverts have that right and their zombie class creatures. 🧟♂️ 🧟♀️ 🧟♂️ 😷 🤒 🤢 ⚕ 🩺
Do we really need this term though?
Waste of time ... maybe teach this in grade school.
Sina Tabatabai yes, this is so important to learn.
