Such a documented article, as usual from your side. The greatest book I've read on this subject even if is not the main one was Mistakes were made (but not by me). It is fascinating (and not in a good way) to see what cognitive disonance can do for example in politics, justice or even psychotherapy where the therapist not being able to assume a mistake can harm his patients. What is the 'real' reality is also a question not easy to answer where the truth differs when you change the perspective.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
The truth doesn't change when you change perspective, you just get more of it. You see more, which shows you how the previous illusion fooled you. Verifying things isn't about staying in one position, but to examine something by revolving around it to understanding all the facets.
We have to face ourselves honestly if we are to stop doing wrongs to others. People don;t know psychology or how they deceive themselves, and then justify anything they do because they don't have foundational principles of understanding behavior, harm, right vs. wrong, etc. They don't know how to think very well. Hardly any honest self-reflection.
Thanks for the feedback ;)
Agree, I was referring to different perspective held by different people when all are right but there is more than what they see and there is truth in the other perspective also. I see this a lot, especially in politics and religion.
I did not knew the schema, thanks, it's a new perspective for me.
