"El mero hecho de que la izquierda parece no tener alternativa a sus políticas fallidas aparte de la noción de que, dado que la gente no fue persuadida por sus argumentos, esos argumentos deben repetirse en voz más alta sugiere una disonancia cognitiva que "
— Thomas Sowell
Simplified Meaning:
When people hold on to ideas that don’t work but fail to offer anything new, it’s like trying to yell louder instead of finding a better way to solve the problem. For example, imagine a teacher who uses the same method to explain math, but students keep failing the test. Instead of changing the teaching method, the teacher just explains the same way, but louder. This approach doesn’t help the students understand any better. Similarly, when politicians or leaders keep pushing the same unsuccessful policies without new solutions, it shows they are stuck in their thinking. They are ignoring the need to change or improve their approach, even though it’s clear the old one isn’t working. People should recognize when something isn’t effective and be open to finding better ways to achieve their goals.
