TE44 Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Interesting Johnl, Science has made great advancements and continued to learn, it seems the only thing that is absolute (im assuming this means no room for another way to observe it) is change, which is pretty exciting if we can recognise that without it taking away what has been found and allowing different observations.

TE44 Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 I think this scientific view has also reflected on our thinking today, where there is a struggle to understand or respect others observations without it taking away your own beliefs.

JohnL Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 I found the word "cognitive dissonance" used in an article today :) double points surely as he also uses "democratic deficit""until recently I owned shares in some of the most polluting companies in the world. My discovery of the fossil fuel divestment campaign made it clear that my cognitive dissonance on this issue was far from an isolated case.
