Namaste all,
Simple question today. Is there anything in Hindu Philosophy or Scripture referencing the problem of cognitive dissonance, or narrow-mindedness.
In other words being so consumed by a concept (in a negative way) that anything beyond or outside that concepts boundary is instantly dismissed and anything that agrees with it is surely correct!
The most potent example I can think of is those in a organised religion with the incorrect attitude. Or even those in Economics who can not even bear to listen to anyone from a seperate school of thought.
I.e. : Failure to even take heed of the other persons thoughts, let alone value them.
