There's one common theme throughout all of these examples of dissonance, that is extremely worth noting here: all the rationalizations require leaps of faith. They require assuming that something must be the case, and really stretching to make something make sense, with zero non-circumstantial evidence that such is the case.

From believers saying, "Well, obviously we did such a good job spreading the faith that Doomsday has been averted!" to doctors saying, "Well, if I can't explain it, it must've just been misdiagnosed," all these are assumptions. Largely baseless ones, at that.

Basically, these individuals minds are closed off, and instead of saying, "Hmm, I don't understand this. Let me do some research and find some evidence for WHY this has happened," they just say, "Well, here's what must have happened!"

Just one more of the dangers of speculation: making yourself increasingly more and more uninformed, and more and more unmoored from the reality of things.

Chase, We need speculation too. Because speculation is to start somewhere. Given an example, I am a soccer player, I will dribble the ball to the opponent defense and there's only one defender left infront of me.

He's not moving, i am not moving. So i dribble to the left, and just before he intercepts the ball from me, i move to the right.

Speculation is like Playmaking. We need speculation, but Speculation we see on television and news are used as drama. Drama to make things exciting.

But Speculation is like Playmaking and Flirting/Tease, They are only steps, They are only touch points, Most people even us mistaken it at times as the end goal
