You can tell the interviewer actually understands the meaning of cognitive dissonance and tries to test whether the "Doc" understands what he is saying - and implying, before finally giving up and giving in: "So that's what cognitive dissonance is…"
I said in the original post that the "Doc" was disingenuous (dangerously so), but the more I think about it the more it seems actually diabolical.
Where are your graphs from?
Thanks anon - this is what I need to get me going again- Wondering and writing about the bizarre use of words during the 2016 election season is what made me start researching to find out the truth which is what lead me to QResearch in 2017.
Still thinking and needing to research how dissimulation in speech is playing out before our eyes; graduate studies in linguistics long ago lead me to research speech patterns in schizophrenic families and what I once thought was a relatively isolated phenomenon now appears to be the norm everywhere.
We need to take back everything, including language, because the result of these speech patterns is literally schizophrenic in nature - detached from reality/living in a fantasy world.
Great - thanks for this too! Can use it to plant[another] seed for a family member in the Great Frozen North who loves this guy.
