The comparison to hunger makes it clear to me. It isn't being compared to the state of having an empty stomach.

Oh, I see, you're fucking brain dead. Now this whole conversation makes sense. You literally cannot admit you are clearly wrong. Please go touch grass, you are pathetic.

I'll do it after I eat lunch because of the feeling of hunger, not the state of having an empty stomach.

In short, I am proposing that dissonance, that is, the existence of nonfitting relations among cognitions, is a motivating factor in it's own right.

Need that one more time? Here ya go

Maybe if you read it ONE MORE TIME it will click for you

Cognitive dissonance is the existence of nonfitting relations among cognition, not the feeling of discomfort arising from that. It is what you are suffering from right now. You have the evidence laid clearly in front of you, but you cherry pick one TINY tidbit and interpret it incorrectly so as to suit your needs. You KNOW you are wrong, and you are arguing in bad faith.

I'm arguing in bad faith? You told me to go back to grade school.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, because you clearly need it. You dont even know what bad faith is. Bad faith arguing is when you aren't actually working towards the resolution of the argument, but instead just making frivolous contradictions that you yourself probably dont even believe in, just to try and keep the other side from making a point. Insulting you is not bad faith. So, yeah, go back to school and actually pay attention this time.

Insulting you is not bad faith.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, it literally isn't. An insult is not mutually exclusive to a good faith argument, but you wouldn't know that because you clearly dont understand the concept. Go look up what bad faith argumentation is.
