Okay, it is what it is. But is it really what it is?

It's in God's hands, but is it really in God's hands?

I'm pretty sure cognitive dissonance is not what she thinks it is.

Cognitive dissonance means holding two completely contradictory opinions at the same time. You can't shortcut cognitive dissonance, I don't quite understand what that means.

What does it mean to short circuit cognitive dissonance?

[–] tacosplease@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Believe A is true. And believe B is true. Also believe A and B cannot both be true at the same time. That is cognitive dissonance.

In this case it is "short circuited" aka bypassed by saying something dismissive. Doing so suggests there is nothing that can be done about the circumstances behind the dissonant ideas, so it's not worth thinking about.
