Neck yourself

Yes. Accept that you cannot objectively determine the truth.

Cognitive Dissonance arises when you have a conflict between incongruent ideas that your mind is trying to sort and categorize as true and untrue but unable to make accurate and reassuring determinations.

Instead accept that this may be true, or that, or some other idea completely unaware to you. Of you are not forcing your simple mind to convince itself that it can or has indeed found the truth, you will have Cognitive Brilliance.

Then you will see the universe as it truly is. Vast, incomprehensible with multitudes of truth completely unobtainable to the all singing, all dancing dirty myopic apes that we are.

Enjoy your life. Have a chocolate chip cookie, pet a warm puppy dog, and make love to a beautiful woman in the red glowing rays of the setting sun. Accept that you will only be able to see the smallest fraction of reality imaginable, and you will only ever glimpse the smallest fraction of possible truths.

Stop wondering about what life is and being upset with your lack of answers. Just live life. Your cosmically insignificant and comically tragic story will soon be over. Strike your words like fire in the air, write your name in the relentless waves of time. Do not sit idle in the cave with your shadows. Go outside. Breath, eat, explore, fuck, love, hate, dream. Curse the fates and damn the torpedoes. Take the fore from the Gods while you still can. Do anything but sit around wasting your life worrying about cognitive dissonance.

People cannot simply live life without meaning. Life without meaning destroys the human spirit. It destroys purpose and responsibility. And simply taking ease into life and appeasing yourself of its simple pleasures does not remedy the great nothingness that is existences. Life is constant suffering anyways. No matter what life you live you will always suffer and ignoring that by simply choosing to enjoy life is near sighted

If you don't wager your entire being on a specific stance you never really fall into the cognitive dissonance trap.

Nihilism is the answer, or just, you know, acknowledging that you're capable of making mistakes and moving on.

>Shit's hard, so why bother?

You can actually enjoy the pursuit of truth for its own sake. Cog Dissonance only comes up from a lack of interest in further developing your ideas.

No, it's not possible. It's just a natural part of the growth and formation of new ideas.
