I concur, but it is tragic how popular it is to be at peace with cognitive dissonance.

Someone may be comfortable with blatant contradiction, but they are still demonstrably logically wrong.

I enjoyed your interview and thought you handled those two quite well. They have a special sense of humour, but I still laugh.

Regards your Q2, I recall hearing about this idea first from Noam Chomsky on foreign policy.

And for Q1, unfortunately Bob Altemeyer found that “authoritarian” personality types are quite comfortable with blatant contradiction.

Thanks for the nice comments! I go by “IDeclare” on this blog. If you need something that sounds more like a real name, you can call me “D”.

Dear iamanatheist,

I also followed you here from Irreligiosophy. You were very patient with their brand of humor. It looks like I have a lot of catching up to do here, because this looks like it is chocked full of ‘wiseness’.

I did read your “don’t ask/don’t tell” and appreciate the wisdom of such. However I would like to know what handle (besides ‘iamanatheist’) you might choose to go by so I can thank you by name (even if it is fake).
