Cognitive dissonance is not a mental illness as some British Facebook trolls claim.
The brain learns for survival sake to block out the horror that the majority engages in, in this case eating animals, so the organism can survive and thrive in its presence.
It’s not unlike the parents of a child who is abducted living with the horror of what might be happening to their child, while they remain helpless to change it. How do they get up every morning and still function many have asked? Cognitive dissonance.
Cognitive dissonance is used as a survival tool, to continue living in spite of it all. In war zones, the rubble, all is lost, destroyed, family killed, missing, how do they cope? Cognitive dissonance.
Now, somebody who has to humiliate someone before they engage, in order to level themselves, that’s a mental illness that has no name except an overwhelming, insatiable need to humiliate others in public.
It gives them an electric charge that’s part sexual in nature. It’s a quality torturers possess, that no one recognizes because the torturer appears level as they torture.
Cognitive dissonance is a coping mechanism, not a mental illness.
