this video's audio is causing me cognitive dissonance

[@richardwind2859]

Lol

[@johnlunn1875]

lol I so needed a laugh

[@yafeiwu4580]

Looool

[@colin9543]

Exactly

[@Aljabri.a]

Lol I only watch in 2x

[@adityapatange8]

Love the background sound, kept me focused on the speaker's voice.

[@WelcomeTheDamned]

Actually most smokers I have met have the attitude "I know it's unhealthy, i lack the strength to stop it" or "I know it's unhealthy, I don't care"

[@egzit9463]

Both those attitudes can be seen as ways to reduce dissonance.

[@krakon6565]

Nicotine is addictive.

[@rafaeterna1081]

@@egzit9463 more of a "yes, i smoke to kill myself, you've got a problem with that?"

[@youtubecomments2740]

The latter isn't cognitive dissonance to begin with because they're fine with having the cancer. The first moves the problem to a dissonance between values and actions, which was solved in this case by add.

[@davidmudry5622]

Cognitive Dissonance is similar to the Stockholm Syndrome. Your captures = Deep State = unelected self interest persons with power to prevent you from knowing about this kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnuzpoqvbtqnqdU

[@normita510]

Thank you so much for explaining!!! Helped me a whole lot!!

[@semasariyildiz4346]

Congratulations! Very well explained. I have listened to so many video s still could not get it. Thank you.

[@dugumachala2790]

Please,send forme dideo

[@copperlight]

Awesome. I liked your attitude video as well

[@pedro14478]

No content is good enough for being published if it has this level of audio quality...seriously

[@tonymontana5923]

great video very informative and easy to understand w the example thanks

[@homekissed2351]

That was very good thank you

[@adityapatange8]

Wonderful!

[@cybermollusk]

Where does Self-Justification fit in? Does it fall under one of those 4 responses, or are all 4 of those types of Self-Justifications?

[@BERGIE59]

Isn't there a fifth? If a person becomes aware of a new cognition which results in a discomfort, cognitive dissonance occurs. It's also very possible a more desired reaction would be change- in order to remove any discomfort. In the example in the video, lets say someone is a smoker. They have never heard of the healths risks of smoking (bad example for my point). They become aware of the health risks, modify their behavior and they quit smoking. Cognitive dissonance then served as a warning mechanism which corrected a bad practice, leading to a higher quality of life.

[@willjames290]

Modification ... of actions.

[@welcome2insanity]

"Now, pretending we're a smoker...' Yes... pretending. *coughs*

[@edlakaumbi8619]

awesoooomeee!!!!

[@akankshasharma4049]

Awesome!

[@jlaetsch95]

great video!

[@LegendaryNemesis]

this was a good explanation

[@surfingcowgirl]

Didn't expect subwoofers to be the background noise lol

[@Textbook000]

Thank you

[@TheLuciab71]

I don't understand all these negative comments, there's nothing wrong with this video or audio.

[@dimkacracker]

probably a bunch of smokers.

[@sarenorbless]

They are watching videos at 1.5 or 2X and she’s has a speech impediments and does stupid kardashian um and lisp while speaking words it comes out funneled echo.

[@eppiechan5673]

Maybe, they are just having a discomfort moment due to *Cognitive Dissonance* . 😅😅😅

[@leftthegame8039]

when a subject is confrontational and challenges our subconscious programming people complain about the speaker or his way of presentation or i guess now the audio quality .just look at the comments and think about it for a moment then go to another and another confrontational video do same begin to see a pattern?

[@AssNuggett]

Thanks, now I know what to call people in comment sections when I don’t like what they have to say.

[@punkrider8758]

Thanks

[@GatesofDawn67]

I hope Khan Academy doesn't sell this, because the audio is so poor: hum, plosives, sibilance, mic handling noise, etc.

[@CjLegend]

good narrator!

[@Elaphe472]

The background noise (somebody sat on a keyboard) is good for a Boris Karloff movie. But I enjoyed the video.

[@jmo8a_veda]

I quit smoking altho people around me like roommates or people that wont go away are smokers and i have to get thrm away from me and whatever brought that to my life because im already having a cancer scare

[@itsme_sauravraj]

that background audio make me sleepy its so fast that i traveled from dream world

[@ScarVaapad]

Have to say, the part where you give examples of trivialization and denial are similar and confusing. I agree with the interpretation but the explanation seems a bit weak if we want to go detailed

[@xxxx-xs5vr]

🙏

[@jazzalterio692]

Sounds like Freud's 'ego'

[@TietCanhVit]

I think the video's example is a bad one. It's pitting behavior against belief, but "cognitive dissonance" is only about the discomfort of contradictory beliefs. So for the smoker, it should be about the discomfort of him holding the beliefs that "I should not harm my own health even if it gives me pleasure" vs. "I should harm my own health if it gives me pleasure." But the smoker can still get rid of his cognitive dissonance and smoke even if he believes that "smoking is bad" because he can add a belief "I should harm my own health if it gives me pleasure." This latter belief does not contradict the belief about the unhealthy smoking habit.

[@eggizgud]

"Discomfortable"? And a few other new words...

[@kmokatz]

1:12 "So, let's take a look OF cognitive dissonance...." 🥴

[@Alphs]

YOOOO COGDIS 3.0 LETS GOOOO

[@SarabellaGignac]

why the Heavy ELF under the narrative??

[@kehelwalasaddananda7548]

Sarabella Gignac I My ok I

[@concienciaindigena]

What happened to your audio?

[@dugumachala2790]

Good

[@dugumachala2790]

Send forme video of dissonance cognition

[@user-lr2gc]

Happiness is what you think, what you say and what you do are in harmony. ~Mahatma Gandhi

[@sonasharma26]

nice explanation very helpful for me as a psychological student

[@ciao_abhi]

my Wernicke's area got destroyed listening to this audio

[@lakaiahbarnes574]

I can hear her smacking throughout the whole video but its helpful

[@zensitives4893]

There is sound like a bass all along in VDO background it would be nice if you change your microphone

[@itsme_sauravraj]

no that sound is very good because its help me to sleep and concentrate

[@naztubez]

[@vanillaexplosion99]

Cigarette smokers have 17X to 25X higher rate of lung cancer(CDC). Also homosexual males develop cancer of the rectum at 17X over norm(CDC). The second sentence when I state it gets a lot of anger and disbelief but is true regardless.

[@kingtaky]

why is there a monster humming in the background?

[@vectrexer]

The audio hum is causing disharmony with my ability to derive educational benefit from this substandard delivery of information by #Khan #Academy #Medicine and #Shreena #Desai causing me to #Shreeka and #Desolate!

[@shadownight848]

Why does everyone use the smoking example? It's so overused, and frankly, it's a shitty example. People do it because they are addicted. There is no dissonance.

[@memories5998]

Why do i never understand what really cognitive dissonance is?

[@pianoprimo1715]

I don’t think this was the best example. -In this video the examples to minimize the dissonance? were directed at the knowledge of smoking causing cancer (such as rationalizing, minimizing and denial in the face of the fact that smoking causing cancer), rather than the self image of being a smoker. If the person would think of himself as "not being a smoker"-and "capable of change " he might be to better live up to not being a smoker. -He smokes because he has labeled himself a smoker and it’s addictive. A better example might be a person who thinks of himself / herself as a poor student or not “good” in mathematics. He thus lives up to expectation and may not try to do better because he erroneously for one reason or another believes it to be so. [They live up to the self image of what he believes is a poor student]. When the belief is challenged by someone who might say “ well, you balance your checkbook pretty well and accurate” the person will say “yeah that I can do, but not math.” Or someone who maintains a low self image with the thoughts that accompany it to fit a poor evaluation of the self given by others. It works both ways- for positive it might be someone who feels he is good in art or music but lacks talent and skill. At the least that one may try to improve, to fit the belief. So it works both ways, it’s more desirable to have a positive image.

[@lofivibes26714]

Late to the party but this example was used in a book/paper on this topic

[@charlierichardson6959]

great video but jesus christ look up "audacity"

[@jseanbrooks1]

What in God's name is that sound

[@DJ-il8iv]

I can think of WAY WAY more insidious and harmful examples of Cognitive D examples- other than smoking cigarettes…jus sayin

[@chanteln3855]

Why are you hiring someone w NPD to do this video 😑

[@Matthew-jr9sf]

Wrong. Take Psychedelics, research Quantum Mechanics, and try again.

[@andrecarvalho3713]

Terrible audio as Hell

[@karenbolton9526]

Who cares ha ha

[@jonturner1981]

You would be using a horrible example of cognitive dissonance while at the same time vilifying it... scalar going against a mainstream flow, I can get behind, finding an inverse function within humanity I can get behind. But to try and explain cognitive dissonance through smoking? I would say get to a singular observance of things.

[@liquiddonkey6530]

I clicked like AND dislike

[@martin22336]

Sounds like what liberals do.
