About this episode

In 1957 Leon Festinger uncover cognitive dissonance and it has been weaponized against us for the betterment and detriment of society ever since.

In this episode we cover the basics of cognitive dissonance theory, how it has been used in the past to shape society, and how we can employ this to change and disrupt patterns in our lives or the lives of those we seek to serve.

(And today's Weaver and Loom quote comes from Jordan Peterson)
