There is a real thing called "cognitive distortion". It is when one is unable to perceive reality. Certain aspects of peoples behaviors are not recognized. People are biased and don't want to see when they are conned or taken advantage of. The reason for that is that the mind unconsciously wants to avoid discomfort. There is an aspect of pain and unconsciousness to it. It is not a cognitive distortion, when people find rational reasons for their behavior. Then it should be called "rationalization", and it is only wrong, when the found reasons don't match reality. Those "experts" are using scientific language to support their moral grounds. This is pseudo science on par with Deepak Chopra. Just using the word "quantum" does not make it scientific. Innocence is the womb of your own silence" - Deepak Chopra Quote Generator |
