Dissonance

Dissonance (music) is the “disagreement” or “clash” between two notes. For example F# and G would have dissonance and this would cause a annoying or “out of tune” sound that isn't very pleasant to hear. But it can be used to add frustration to a piece of music and when used right, it can sound cool.
Béla Bartók used dissonance in his piece String Quartet No.4 especially the 5th movement! It sounded super cool!

intellectual dissonance

The phenomenon of being opposed to a subject or topic like censorship, yet finding it intriguing and worthwhile to study. This term captures the conflict between personal beliefs and the intellectual curiosity that drives someone to explore contentious or challenging subjects.
Even though I have strong reservations about censorship, my intellectual dissonance compelled me to delve into its implications on freedom of expression.

cognitive dissonance

Cognitive dissonance is the psychological discomfort felt when holding two or more conflicting beliefs, values, or attitudes, or when one's behavior contradicts these beliefs. This mental tension creates a desire to reduce the inconsistency, which people achieve by changing their beliefs or behaviors, adding new justifications, or ignoring the conflicting information.
