Cognitive Dissonance

Internally repealing old beliefs and past experiences and replacing them with new information that contradicts the original to conform with internal belief structures.

Example: Democrats

Joe Biden saying if the President had done his job, no one would have died from Covid-19, then declaring "there is nothing we can do to change the trajectory of the pandemic in the next several months" is an extreme case of Cognitive Dissonance.

Colitas

Featured in the song "Hotel California" by The Eagles, Colitas have been repeatedly defined by Don Henley and Don Felder as "desert flowers", the Colita de Rata, or Wild Buckwheat.

A perennial up to one foot 30.5 cm tall, favoring dry rocky slopes, Wild buckwheat has a basal whorl of grayish spoon-shaped leaves. Creamy white flowers form in clusters on the stem.

On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair. Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air.

Immaculate Cognition

Immaculate Cognition -- the state of forming and having an undeniably correct opinion without any input of accurate data or factual information.

Immaculate Cognition, the capricious and spontaneous generation of supposedly irrefutable knowledge without any verifiable outside influences or forces, is in reality rarer than Immaculate Conception.

cognitive dissonance

Cognitive Dissonance States that contradicting cognitions serve as a driving force that compels the mind to acquire or invent new thoughts or beliefs, or to modify existing beliefs, so as to reduce the amount of dissonance (conflict) between cognitions.

You do a boring job, but is paid $30/hour, so you say that is a nice and interesting job....'well, it is not cognitive dissonance, I think is a great new job!!'

You are deciding about two movies, your girlfriend wants to see the most boring one so after the cinema, you think it was a good movie and cool after all.
