The Power of Self-Contradiction
Briefly

"We are, perhaps, self-contradictory by nature. However, we are also taught to be consistent as a matter of moral integrity. From a psychological perspective, a coherent sense of self is associated with better function."
"Psychologists regard narrative coherence as an example of our autobiographical sense of self, identifying dimensions like chronology, context, and theme as key to personal narratives."
"The digital environment heightens the meme-ing of life, reducing complex thoughts into simplistic bites of information that can mislead our understanding of truth and context."
"In individualistic societies, culture promotes singularity as the norm, almost venerating individualism, which contrasts sharply with the values of communal societies that emphasize interconnectedness."
