Cognitive dissonance, a term coined by psychologist Leon Festinger in 1957, refers to the mental discomfort experienced when an individual holds two or more contradictory beliefs, values, or attitudes simultaneously. This discomfort often leads people to change one of the conflicting elements to reduce the dissonance and restore internal consistency.
A performative contradiction occurs when a person's actions contradict the very beliefs or values they are espousing, revealing a gap between their stated principles and actual behavior. This can be seen as an external manifestation of cognitive dissonance, where the contradiction is observable in one's actions rather than just internal thoughts.
For example, if someone passionately advocates for environmental conservation but regularly engages in activities that harm the environment, such as excessive use of single-use plastics or frequent air travel, they are experiencing a performative contradiction. Their behavior contradicts their expressed commitment to environmentalism, potentially due to unresolved cognitive dissonance.
This contradiction can arise from various factors:
1. Self-Deception or Rationalization: The individual may rationalize their behavior to align with their beliefs, convincing themselves that their actions are justified or that they are making enough positive impact in other areas to compensate for their contradictory behavior.
2. Social or Situational Pressures: External factors, such as social norms, peer pressure, or situational constraints, might lead individuals to act in ways that contradict their values. For instance, someone might continue working for a company that engages in unethical practices because of financial necessity or career advancement.
3. Lack of Awareness or Attention: The individual may not be fully aware of the contradiction between their actions and beliefs, often due to a lack of self-reflection or understanding of the implications of their behavior.
Addressing performative contradictions requires increasing self-awareness, engaging in honest self-assessment, and taking concrete steps to align actions with stated beliefs. This process can reduce cognitive dissonance and lead to more consistent and authentic behavior, ultimately enhancing personal integrity and credibility.

When you realize that Apple is a reference to the original sin where man ate from the tree of knowledge to become like God and Android is a reference to the final sin where men try to transcend mortal flesh itself via crossing with machinery as an abomination to God. If this was part of the plot of a dystopian movie, it would be too on the nose but in real life, noone even seems to notice.
