    There’s a negative connotation one (cognitive dissonance) and then there’s a positive connotation one that is different but has something to do with being able to examine an idea or two conflicting ideas without having it affect your objectivity + mental distress.

    Isn’t cognitive dissonance an uncomfortable thing? What I’m thinking of is the opposite of discomfort with the conflicting ideas

      Understanding? Just basic understanding? As in these days people subscribe to pop politics and live for sound bites and marketed simplified ideas… They don’t understand. But if you talk to someone that does understand they will grow and build with each conversation.
