two words: cognitive dissonance

what does it mean
-
so persuasion is less likely to be successful. Although smug condescension is never likely to be successful in changing hearts/minds
-
I've had a little bit of success with persuasion and have seen condescension trigger backlash.

I understand what cognitive dissonance is but not how it related to my tweet ;)

Thinking of how to persuade will also help you see when you're wrong, in a way that smug condescension is unlikely to.

Related, it may help you see which of your beliefs rest on firm and which rest on flimsy ground. Echo chambers tend to elide these diffs.

and yet, I feel this tweet being condescending. Like as if you see me as a lost sheep waiting to be saved or something :)
