MODE 2

MODE 2 THINKING

Festinger's Theory of Cognitive Dissonance postulates that individuals,when presented with evidence contrary to their worldview or situations in which they must behave contrary to their worldview, experience "cognitive dissonance."

MODE 2 THINKING

There is a connection between mode 2 thinking and cognitive dissonance.
Emotionally based thinking is much more susceptible to facts and logic which contradict the justification for that thinking or emotional worldview.
Factually or logically inconsistent cognitions are
countered not with consistent factual/logical cognitions, but with emotional cognitions.

For the mode 2 thinker, the universe is not a
matter of logic and fact, it is a matter of emotion, and when presented with logic or facts that contradict a strongly held emotion, they respond not with a logical/factual refutation of that contradiction, but
with an emotional refutation.

The mode 2 thinker refutes emotionally,not logically.

This is why one cannot debate or discuss logic and facts
with mode 2 thinkers. Any reasoned discussion or debate is met with emotional discussion or debate. It is like trying to debate with a child...they simply don't hear you.

How can one counter emotional arguments?
Answer: It is not possible.
Mode 2 thinkers cannot be persuaded rationally...i.e. with facts and logic that contradict their worldview.

Only rational individuals can be persuaded with contradictory facts and logic.
MODE 2 Thinking.... ESDLs say...don't confuse me with the facts for I have already made up my mind and the facts will just confuse me!
Mode 2 thinking... Hilliary says "It's a vast right wing conspiracy".
MODE 2 thinking......Al Gore won in 2000, Humans cause Global Warming and not the SUN!
Mode 2 thinking.... George Bush is an idiot, but he tricked the smartest woman in the world to vote for the Iraq war, Hilliary
Mode 2 thinking....Oral sex is not sex, and ...."it depends on what the meaning of "is...IS"
Mode 2 thinking..... School teachers say, "pay us more and we will teach better"
Mode 2 thinking.... They get so much more than I do, It's not fair!
Mode 2 thinking..... We are over worked & underpaid!

Minecraft: Story Mode Season 2 Episode 4: Below the Bedrock

the greatest video game of all time. its story, characters and music is unforgettable. comparing this game to another masterpiece, for example Knack 2, would be like comparing a Whale to a Rat. there is nothing that comes close to this level of masterpiece. thinking of an even greater game than this masterpiece is a death sentence in most countries. it isn't available anywhere now because Telltale "Went Bankrupt" but if you ask me, that's just a cover up story, they actually want people to forget about this masterpiece ever existing
Robert: Hey dude what are you playing?
Gilbert: Oh, i'm playing Minecraft: Story Mode Season 2 Episode 4: Below the Bedrock
Robert: the gods has made you one of them. use your power wisely, young one

2k Mode

2k Mode is the time period during a 2k game (usually at the end of games), where the most ridiculous bullshit is happening against you and there’s nothing you can do to stop it. You’re players may start missing wide open shots with good releases while the opposing team makes literally every shot and there’s nothing you can do to prevent them from scoring. This is an effect from the fact that 2k is a terrible game.
Uh oh. 2k’s going into 2k Mode, now I have no chance of winning. Might as well just quit now.

20/20/20/20 mode

20/20/20/20 mode (aka 4/20 mode) was the 7th night in the first FNAF (Five Nights At Freddy's) game. The 7th night was first counted as "The most impossible night in the game." At the time, the creator of the game (Scott Cawthon) thought that the night was impossible to beat. A youtuber mamed Markiplier wss one of the first people to ever beat the night. He had made a strategy that helped him beat the night. And that strategy stuck in the game forever, which was later counted the night as one of the most easiest night 7 in any of the FNAF games as a strategy was used to counter all of the animatronics (Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, Foxy)
-Yo bro, have you beaten 20/20/20/20 mode on Five Nights at Freddy's?

-Who do you think I am, Markiplier? (a youtuber with over 30 million subscribers that does gaming videos, choose your own adventure videos, horror videos, reaction videos, and random videos)

4/20 mode

When you play the custom night in a FNaF game with every animatronic in the highest activity level. The number varies depending on the game since the number of animatronics is always different (ex. 10/20 for FNaF 2, 5/20 for FNaF 4 and 50/20 for Ultimate Custom Night).

No, this doesn't have anything to do with illicit substances. Go consume yours somewhere else.
Lucas: 4/20 mode is so hard in this game! Even the animatronics that are already annoying get worse!
Jeff: what were you expecting stupid
