    That’s the colloquial usage. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_dissonance

      No, that is literally a dictionary definition, not a colloquialism. A colloquialism would necessarily be informal and descriptive, not prescriptive.

        You think dictionary definitions can’t be descriptive?

          Where did I say that? Keep your straw men to yourself.

            You said it right here.

              Go back to grade school and learn reading comprehension again, please. Just because I said that colloquialisms are descriptive, does not mean that I said that all dictionary definitions are prescriptive. Get your red herring straw man bullshit out of here. You clearly lost the argument if you are at this point.

                What argument? I’m informing you that it refers to the feeling of discomfort from having contradictory beliefs and not the state of having two contradictory beliefs. Read this, doofus. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_dissonance

                  The argument against your claims? I’m informing you that cognitive dissonance refers to the simple state of holding incongruous beliefs. Read these, doofus:

                    I’m not saying those are wrong, I’m saying those are the colloquial usage.
