In psychology, cognitive dissonance is a phenomenon where people unknowingly or subconsciously hold fundamentally conflicting cognitions (mental processes). Being confronted by situations that create this dissonance or highlight these inconsistencies can cause stress (discomfort) and motivates change in their thoughts or actions to reduce this dissonance. Persons who experience internal inconsistency tend to become psychologically uncomfortable and are motivated to reduce the cognitive dissonance in several ways, such as: rationalization (justifying the behavior), using a just-world fallacy, using selective perception (ignoring some info), or avoiding information (resulting in confirmation bias).

You:
Why would anyone do that when you’re acting like this?
Buddy…
You didn’t even understand Wikipedia, or my prior comments.
No matter how much time I spend here, you’re still not going to understand it.
I’ve said it repeatedly:
My goal is you to stop spreading bad summaries that make people think they understand things they don’t…
It would be great if you started posting accurate summaries so people could learn accurate facts. I do not want to teach you, you do not know how. So again, just post the Wikipedia, because it is accurate.
Not your personal blog that only has shitty summaries filled with errors and misunderstandings.
But yes, if you won’t do that, then posting nothing is better than posting false information.
Just…
Jesus Christ dude, how aren’t you understanding any of this?
Everything you type, is a misunderstanding.
Is this for a fifth grade science project or something?
I understand now, you don’t know how to be constructive, and discouragement is your aim.
You understand this as much as your chat it understands the flash cards you “make”.
