Bonkers that people are downvoting you for suggesting to use a public thread for research. I'd note that in whatever you're writing.
@JimBobSquarePants Yes very interesting. It's OK, folks can have opinions on my personal blog post drafts if they want to. 😆
Needless to say, I did not mean to link that issue -- the one time when GitHub's helpful linking feature was not at all helpful. 😅
To those who are following along here, the goal of this post would not be to disparage anyone, but to point out that there are a variety of reasonable opinions and stances that when combined present a considerable challenge for progress toward a unified vision.
For those curious about the title idea, I chose it because of the definition of cognitive dissonance:
The state of having inconsistent thoughts, beliefs, or attitudes, especially as relating to behavioral decisions and attitude change.
Note that nowhere in there does it say that any type of thought is bad. 👍
