This is kinda what I was talking about the other day with the AI, it kept bringing up Cognitive dissonance.

Its not like we, or I dont suffer from it either. Sometimes its hard to let go of an idea after you believed in it for so long.

But I think thats what separates "conspiracy theorist" like us, with normys like your friend. We try to not let these ideas conflict with us, but instead try to understand more to figure it out.

When someone is in this state, it doesnt matter what you say, in my experience. Theyve already closed their minds off.

I left appalachia because of all the closed minds, only to discover that mainstream society is even worse. Ive also noticed that kids and young people are usually the most open and receptive. Older people tend to be very static and stereotypical of that saying.

You cant teach an old dog new tricks.

This is the only meaningful distinction between people when it comes to arguments. It's not a matter of knowledge, facts, IQ. You can't make a person see something if he doesn't want to. It's a moral problem really.

it kept bringing up Cognitive dissonance.

  • CO - "together"... https://www.etymonline.com/word/co-
  • DIS - "apart"... https://www.etymonline.com/word/dis-

Now ask AI why it would bring up a contradiction...

Its not like we, or I don't suffer from it either.

Nothing (not) vs everything; like vs dislike; plural (we) vs singular (I); do vs don't...that's the cognitive dissonance aka contra (against) diction (to speak) within your mind.

Only letting go of both sides relieves ones self imposed suffering...

Sometimes its hard to let go of...

Every time it's easier to hold onto, because that's the path of least resistance during motion.

what separates conspiracy

CON (together) + SPIRO (to breathe)...others CON one into ignoring that breathing implies separation.

We try to not let these ideas conflict with us

We vs they; everything vs nothing (not); us vs them...three conflicts within half a sentence about trying to avoid conflicts.

closed their minds off

Circular thinking (logic) turning into conflict (reason) closes ones mind off from implication (if/then) aka linear progression.

kids and young people are usually the most open and receptive

Because young memory hasn't received much old information yet. Holding onto information within memory ages it faster, while spoiling memory with the rotting fruit of forbidden (suggested) knowledge (perceivable).

Forbid aka for (forwards) + bid (to ask) implies being forwarded within perceivable inspiration, while asking for suggested information.

Fruit/frui - "to use"... https://www.etymonline.com/word/fruit not misusing by holding onto it.
