Cognitive Dissonance: The Belief Barrier
This chapter explores cognitive dissonance and the psychological barriers that hinder belief change, even in the face of concrete evidence. The speakers discuss various cognitive biases, including confirmation bias, and the emotional investments that can cloud rational judgment. The conversation highlights the implications of these mental blocks on societal discourse and the challenges of effectively communicating facts to those resistant to new ideas.
