Most people don't want to harm #animals or the #climate but also eat #meat. They use subconscious #coping strategies to reduce cognitive #dissonance caused by this #paradox. Dairy-related coping strategies overlap—with the added justification that #dairy is “neglectable”: doi.org/10.1007/s410...

The Dance of Dissonance

I find myself lost
at the end of
a confusing day
trying to decipher labyrinthian relations
and coming up short,
suddenly wondering
how a day I thought good
was not for another,
caught up in
opposing realities
where mine is suspect
and empathy is a struggle.
The brain fog
of past illness
has left its trailing
fingers over my head
like the cigarette smoke
of the man I see one morning standing with his back to me on the dock outside the store where I used to work
and I wonder why he is there.
I am suspicious, feeling responsible for what is no longer mine to care about, so I observe, yet remain at a distance and leave without really discovering if his presence is innocent.
Such is the dance of dissonance.
I am close enough to see your back but too far to see your face clearly,
afraid that if I look too closely I will not like what I see or that I will recognize some ugly part of me.
I want to hear
that which runs
counter to my experience
but I must be honest and say that my capacity to understand the complexities of human behavior is diminishing.
I long for circles that are completely safe,
where the people I pass on the walk home illicit in me feelings other than fear,
lust, guilt, or judgement,
all of which mirror
the overwhelming sense
of dislike
I feel from the
world, and from myself perhaps.
It is my inability to not receive everything personally, this overwhelming sadness, unprotected by my hypervigilance, where I still seem to miss what is most important, and no matter how much I try to hold everything together, I cannot keep things from unraveling.
How do I continue to remain caring and yet not take on burdens that are not mine to carry?
This then is the strange choreography of relationship, the stumbling herky-jerky movements of a marionette pulled by invisible strings, revealed in the bright lights of another angry stage.
Yet we dance.
Through the pain of revelation.
The occasional stepping on of toes.
In the percieved exposure of audience eyes.
Shedding these inadequate masks and costumes one by one.
Finding our own rhythm in the strange movings of this particular
circle of love.

@Snoro Are #Canadians THAT stupid & THAT ignorant? Really? Has @GeraldKutney been wasting his time, then? How can anyone on this #planet, still less in #Canada, after all the #wildfires, really believe that you can carry on extracting & burning #fossilfuels without putting more #CO2 & #airpollution in the #atmosphere & making #climatechange worse? It is the combination of #political &/or #religious #ideology & #cognitive #dissonance that allows people to ignore the #scientific #consensus.

Cognitive #Dissonance: In #Munich, an #AfD Member Narrowly Misses Becoming the #Commissioner for Combating Right-Wing #Extremism
#CSU and #FDP representatives supported an AfD politician, sparking a scandal. The parties have since called the move a mistake. An analysis of the reasons behind the vote in Munich's district committee, the reaction of faction leadership, and conclusions on the stability of inter-party barriers are detailed in our article.

A quotation from Brennan Manning
When I get honest, I admit I am a bundle of paradoxes. I believe and I doubt, I hope and get discouraged, I love and I hate, I feel bad about feeling good, I feel guilty about not feeling guilty. I am trusting and suspicious. I am honest and I still play games. Aristotle said I am a rational animal; I say I am an angel with an incredible capacity for beer.
Brennan Manning (1934-2013) American author, laicized priest, theologian, speaker [Richard Francis Xavier Manning]
The Ragamuffin Gospel, ch. 1 “Something is Radically Wrong” (1990)More about this quote: wist.info/manning-brennan/8336…

This one video is really wild, especially the parts about Gamelan and Thai classical music, but also Western piano tuning. And I think it all boils down to the fact that scales and modes are all relative to the sounds that you're composing with and there's no single “right” way to make music.

#Noisevember! Tried a little live-processed flute. I've had this flute for 50 years, since 4th grade, but have not played it at all for many years. Processed it with Csound, doing the delayed-copies-of-the-signal-interfere-with-each-other-spectrally thing. I should clean my flute. https://soundcloud.com/matthew-m-conroy/live-processed-flute

Worried about rising #bills and getting by? Keir #Starmer has the answer: try chewing a flag!
The PM wants to talk about patriotism when the issue that is really affecting people is the #CostOfLiving.
If he doesn’t wise up, that #dissonance will sink him

Remember that #story last week, where the #US #FBI came out and actually recommended people switch to using #encrypted #communications, because Chinese government hackers had burrowed deeply into the US phone infrastructure ?
Remember the #cognitive #dissonance that announcement caused, after literally decades of the FBI and other #American #intelligence agencies demanding backdoors and key escrow and deliberately weakened #encryption #algorithms?
Ya, well, apparently part of that announcement was missed. They're still demanding "responsibly managed encryption":
Remember: "responsible encryption" is neither. It's their demand for a back-door. And every back door can be used by the "bad guys" just as easily as it can be used by the "good guys". Anyone who tells you different is #lying to your face; encryption is math, and there is no such thing as math which the "good guys" can do but which the "bad guys" cannot.
The #USA intelligence agencies' demand for backdoors to be built into all parts of the #phone system years ago are exactly what let the #Chinese government #hackers to penetrate and control the phone system now, and which they aren't going to be able to fix for many years, if at all, because it would require replacing a *lot* of equipment with versions that don't have back doors (and which would then not be eavesdrop-able at will).

Does #cognitive #dissonance cause #voting #buyersremorse or prompt its dismissal?

🧵 3/3: I wish privileged people who show interest in #climateaction were intellectually & morally more honest, emotional more aligned to acknowledge the complete #dissonance between their individual actions and their lofty aspirations.
Disclosure: I took the decision to stop #flying in 2018. The story of how is for another post.

Last night I performed in front of a live audience at the fiftieth Experimental Guitar Night in Pittsburgh. For this one, I wanted to break some self-imposed restrictions, and enact darker atmospheres, with #DarkAmbience, #dissonance and granularity. It's unsettling, and pretty good. $0/name-your-price at https://snwv.bandcamp.com/album/experimental-guitar-night-50

She doesn’t eat meat
-- an admission she gave in her RNC speech that reportedly drew gasps from the crowdand perhaps most importantly, her political views, what was known of them, do not seem particularly MAGA.
Since her recent elevation to the national scene, many publications have tried to pick apart what #Usha #Vance's political leanings are,
and when they might have changed.She most recently worked for a law firm that is known for its commitment to DEI;
she told her friends she was outraged by Jan. 6, 2021;
and in her youth, those around her seemed to assume she was a left-of-center thinker.
There’s a specific kind of #cognitive #dissonance that comes from watching a woman of color
who seemed to have been intellectually reared in progressive circles
endear herself to this iteration of the Republican Party,so it’s no surprise that the main question being asked of Usha Vance has ended up:
Is she actually a Republican, or what?

Heinlein had a period in his main Universe he called "The Crazy Years", he didn't really write about it directly but Methusela's Children gets close.
We might think we are in the Crazy Years now, Heinlein wrote about the reaction which was an overly polite society an elevation of hypocrisy that exceeded that in the 18th century. We have something akin to that.
But in our case you you might see this as a precursor.

@johnnyprofane1 There is so much about the normative #allistic social gauntlet I just don’t get. Sometimes I wonder if this perplexing outcome of expressed #individuality and obvious surrender to #populism is merely a continuation of that same game that happens in our teens, and they just never got over it.
I suppose I didn’t consider if my confusion over #political behavior might also be part of my social #dissonance. Very possibly!

Side by side in Nagoya, these architectural neighbors speak a language of dissonance; structures reaching out but not quite touching, like a metaphor for missed connections in a bustling urban boogie. 🏢🔗
名古屋の隣同士のこれらの建築は不協和音の言葉を話します。手を伸ばすが触れ合うことのない構造は、賑やかな都市のブギーでの逃した繋がりのたとえのようです。🏙️♾️
