Podcast 21: Experiencing Cognitive Dissonance About Cognitive Dissonance (INFORM VIDEO - 41 mins)

Today’s podcast is intended to inform you of the mental whiplash inducing narrative shifts through the lens of Alinksy as part of the Deprogram Your Mind Learning Series. I focus on 3 narratives: 1) Insurrectionists, 2) Bodily Autonomy and 3) Gun Violence and in usual fashion I pick them apart through the lens of what they mean to your human psyche.
I review how people who have had their cognitive biases exploited due to deliberate psychological manipulation and rampant logical fallacies find themselves in a state of uncomfortable cognitive dissonance.
I dissect the exploited cognitive biases relating to the 3 narratives, and also the common cognitive biases exploited that lead to cognitive dissonance in general: Ostrich Effect, Belief Bias, Overconfidence Bias, Selective Perception, Confirmation Bias, and Conformity Bias.
Lastly, I wrap-up with the typical responses of people who experience cognitive dissonance. I’ll follow-up with a video later in the week what you can do to take action to reduce cognitive dissonance.
Listening to this podcast is your opportunity to reflect on your own cognitive dissonance and process the concepts covered before moving into actions you can take to mitigate this harmful psychological experience.
