The Comfortable Lie: How Cognitive Dissonance Became the Most Dangerous Weapon of the 21st Century (RIST Companion Series, Band 1) - Softcover
Inhaltsangabe
Why do intelligent people defend obvious falsehoods with such passion?
From a doomsday cult in Minnesota to the January 6th Capitol, from Kenyan election rallies to Russian state media, from church pulpits to social media algorithms — people across the world are holding two contradictory beliefs at once, feeling no discomfort, and acting on the contradiction.
This is not mere hypocrisy. It is cognitive dissonance — the mind's ancient defence mechanism against the pain of being wrong. And in the twenty-first century, politicians, platforms, and institutions have learned to weaponise it with terrifying precision.
In The Comfortable Lie, Samuel M. Kariuki “Baita” — Kenyan-born aircraft mechanic, FedEx technician, theologian, and founder of the Raitha Institute of Science and Technology — offers a rare and powerful analysis. Drawing on psychology, history, global journalism, and his own life at the intersection of Africa and America, Kariuki shows how the same mechanism that helped our ancestors survive now threatens our democracies, our churches, and our shared reality.
With unflinching honesty — including a courageous personal reflection on faith and sexuality — Kariuki examines both sides of the political divide and refuses to exempt himself or his own communities. Most importantly, he points toward real antidotes: epistemic humility, relationship across difference, and education that teaches the next generation how to think, not just what to believe.
A timely, courageous, and deeply human book that names the gap between the stories we tell ourselves and the world as it actually is — and offers a path through it.
