Reminds me of the F. Scott Fitzgerald quote,
"The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function."
Good quote.
Unfortunately I’ve found that I’m able to hold at least 4 opposing ideas at the same time. I’m still functioning itseems bu accordinf tk the bppj ij gene s, —.:: ., ,?? …..
Wouldn't that be cognitive dissonance?
Good observation. I think cognitive dissonance differs in how the person's mind treats the information. I see the quote as more about an objective analysis of opposing ideas, without personal bias. Dissonance arises if the ideas are treated more subjectively. It's an unwillingness for the mind to accept new information because it threatens established beliefs, without fully investigating the new info. I could be wrong, and frequently am. 🙂
