This is a
fancy, somewhat
scientific way of describing the
ever-ongoing process of realizing you've been
stupid. Everybody does it. Everybody, at least most of the time,
deals with it.
Except, of course, for the
guys standing in the
corner mumbling, "
Got to
adjust my worldview and get rid of this
cognitive dissonance that's been bothering me..." Unfortunately, the guy who
doesn't know the big words is the guy who has to
admit, "Damn,
dude. That was
stupid of me." Does this
latter, more
emotionally potent and
direct method of
defining our difficulties give the Second Guy a
better chance at reform?
Time will tell....duh duh duuuuun...
