No matter the information that will contradict our Cat Mardi Gras shirt. They call cognitive dissonance a kind of negative hallucination. Its where our mind edits out incoming information and re-organizes the information or omits. But it all together in order to maintain the emotional hallucination that the core belief is correct. Once I was painting in a group of people and they have seen different colors when I showed them the painting. At first, I thought they were joking. But I asked them again and they were sincere with there answers it baffled me. So we all seen a different view of the same picture. We agree based on what we have learned.
