A Case study on Cognitive Dissonance

I only hear what I wanna hear and disregard the rest.

I have my righteous rage and pointless point of view–The Angry Young Man by Billy Joel

Often wrong but never in doubt–Chicago Slim

You will learn more about investing (or clear thinking) than weeks of hearing investment pundits, or I will send you a check.   Without a point of view, just listen carefully to the above interview.  If necessary stop the video and think after each question how you might respond in that situation.   What techniques is the interviewer using?  What is going on?   There are many levels of psychology and level 1 and level 2 thinking exhibited here.

What did YOU learn?   Even after multiple views, I need to review.  Ignore politics and focus on the logic of the questions and answers.  How does one’s psychological point of view and beliefs devastate a person’s ability to think critically?

Interviewer, Cathy Newman, “So what YOU are saying……………………….”

Jordan Peterson: “I DID NOT say THAT, because I am VERY, VERY, VERY CAREFUL with my words.”

If you only have two minutes to spare, then click on the 22 minute mark of the above video.   Interviewer: “Why should YOUR right to FREEDOM of SPEECH trump a trans-person’s right not to be offended?”   Remember that a “journalist” is asking this question in a Western liberal democracy.
