CIA-Induced Cognitive Dissonance

The feeling in your heart that the CIA has never actually done anything wrong, despite mountains of evidence that says otherwise

"You still don't believe that MK Ultra happened, even though the CIA publicly admitted to the program being real, and released documents detailing how it was carried out?"
"No dude, that stuff is too crazy to have ever actually happened."
"Wow. You must have CIA-Induced Cognitive Dissonance."

high school dissonance

The phenomenon where you find that still living with parents whilst still in college to be "childish" as it makes you feel like you're still in high school — whilst staring at cute high school girls' uniform on Pinterest

Feeling high school dissonance, I couldn't help but laugh at myself for living with my parents in college while scrolling through Pinterest and admiring cute high school girls' uniforms, reminding me of a time I thought I'd left behind.
