A favourite verbal mistake I think should enter the language, when I first learnt about "cognitive dissonance" I confused it with "cognitive dissidence" should be a term - for thinking outside the box, for offering uncomfortable truths, for many neurodiverse.

I hear lots of professed Christians say a key belief is seeking truth & why science originated in Christian societies - cognitive dissonance.

The safest, richest, most stable, freest, and, by many counts, most moral countries in the world are secular, have a large percentage of their population not believing in God. One cavate they aren't forced into disbelief as in being communistic or capitalist as in USSR, Albania, Egypt, Turkey, etc

#Evangelical extremists (#Christian, #Muslim #Jewish, #Hindu, even some #Buddhists in #Burma) are pushing people away from #religion especially considering they don't read the texts they preach or model themselves after their prophets.

Interesting how deep dissociation is in philosophy. It's central to the Indo-European cultures. By "dissociated" I mean distust of the sense, the emotions & the body. It is a big part of #Indiaphilosophy #yoga & their other traditions & Greco-Roman traditions that are embedded in #Christianity by #Plato & #neoplatonism & continued by #Descartes #philosophy - From #Socrates to #Sartre (1978) https://youtube.com/watch?v=f5_Rhpl5p3Y&si=gWXAaL9ZGJy0hU4w
