I would prefer that you, at least once in your life, deal seriously with the enormous damage done to plants and the malice directed against them. I have noticed that you repeatedly advocate a diet based solely on them with a noticeable lack of due respect. isn't that a real example of cognitive dissonance?

frankly, the question was addressed to EE; I'm not sure why it would have such an impact on you. aside from that, do you truly think that such a serious question is funny? that's enough to say about you.

One of the more bizarre examples in recent times were the firefighters who risked their lives to rescue some piglets from a fire, only for the farmer to subsequently give them the slaughtered pigs for a barbeque in order to say thank you.
Where did this happen?
Odd isn't it? Like, would they risk their life to save their hot dog from a fire? Even if it were to save the farmer money, would they risk their life to save a thousand dollars?

@@robinwallace7097 I wonder whether any of them made the connection as they were tucking in
That script was a freaking masterwork. I've learned more about how to communicate logical, reasonable, emotional thoughts from ed than anyone else. Smashing it.
Cult leaders are usually psychopaths with a desire for power and often take ideas from politics, religion and psychology to fulfill their purpose. Through mind control, they are able to filter their thoughts and behaviors into "fanatical faith and belief" among followers.
Me too.
I’m still learning. It’s so difficult to communicate the way he does about these things!
Me too. I've actually disarmed people by staying calm and rational. They expect me to be a hot-headed vegan, passionate and furious, screaming for animal rights. I am passionate, I am (internally) furious and screaming, but maintaining that poise could really make all the difference in getting the other person to really listen and reflect.
He only communicates well to people who dont know the whole truth or dont want to know the whole truth !
I never understood the "vegans are miserable" trope, July 4th marks my two years vegan and I've never been happier.
Congrats! Just passed the five year mark myself 😁✋
Being in the Hell we are in justifies our misery but we are not miserable. We keep striving for a better world. U are right
I have been vegan for 6 years.
@Aaron Loos You suffer from carnist deterioration. When you figure out why, get back to me.
@Aaron Loos What about vegans do you hate?
Cognitive dissonance is what made me go vegan. I was a vegetarian and thought dairy was a harmless industry, after watching Dominion I went vegan on the spot.
Congratulations!
You have hit the nail on the head there. ONLY someone suffering from cognitive dissonance would EVER go vegan!
Yep
Great job bro
No, that's not cognitive dissonance at all. That's being unaware of how bad animal agriculture is. Cognitive dissonance would be watching dominion and then choosing to continue supporting the dairy industry while claiming animal abuse is wrong.
Remember how, in Grade One, we were warned about the kid who stomped on baby robins then went home to a chicken dinner😵💫😵💫. That’s where it all starts🌿
So how do you explain the billlions of people who eat meat but havent stomped on a robin?
@@EVIL-en1ym they're taught to be apathetic towards others lives and will condemn them to death without a second look.
@@80slimshadys some, for sure. Especially if it moos, oinks, baas.or bok boks.
The sad this is that these videos, which are so well done, are mostly being seen be vegans who know all this stuff already. We have to get you trending somehow so that the people who REALLY need to play the game get to.
Share it on facebook, show your friends!
It is shown to people. I’ve asked countless people what they think of it and they usually said “i dont care, it’s not me so why would I care?”. The issue is peoples minds.
@@bloodmoon5872 That is what narcissists say. Only they matter. No empathy. no compassion.
@@bloodmoon5872 It's not cognitive dissonance though. If I don't care about animals being hurt, even dogs.
I saw this because a friend shared it. I'm not vegan or vegetarian. And I won't be anytime soon. Do you know how many creatures are killed because of agriculture? That avocado you eat, killed animals too and ruined their habitat. If you really want to save animals, just don't give birth at all and let's leave the planet to animals, because there's no other way that humans can eat without killing. But I guess cognitive dissonance has made you believe you're doing something about this problem and you are morally right and better than everyone else.
This is, quite arguably, the most explicit, direct and perfect explanation of cognitive dissonance using real-world examples. If non-vegans fail to see the connection using THIS VIDEO then I'm afraid to say that I have little hope for them recognizing the similarities...and that's scary for me to say. That's scary for ALL of us. It doesn't get any more clear than this. Great video, Eddie.
Of course we understand this. Still I am consuming meat quite regulary
@@why_so_serious That's a little... off, wouldn't you say? You knowing the amount of animal suffering that goes into your food that you have no need for (other than for pleasure), while still actively supporting that industry? Nobody's trying to make you go vegan cold turkey, but it's important to see if the morals fit your lifestyle.
🔥The Connections (2021) [short documentary] 🔥
@@BadGoof yes, you are absolutely correct. And still... I am consuming meat. What is expected from someone like me? Maybe the industry also needs to change?
Sry for my bad english btw
@Anthony ok... very constructive. Thanks
Imagine a world where they teach psychological biases and logical concepts in school, right from the beginning. I'ts so fundamental to everything...
i may be wrong but i think huge amounts of money (billions) are spent making sure that doesn't happen and the government is helping/partnering with these dark soulless creatures.
@@flyingfig12 that doesn't need to be the case, but since food is so personal to a lot of people it makes it difficult to promote veganism in schools. At most, school lunches will contain "vegetarian" options which are really pescetarian.
I tried being a teacher once and during an internship, a teacher said they knew of the horrors of the animal industry but they chose to eat meat anyway because it's "personal choice."
No one has ever been able to explain it better. Incredibly made. As always, thank you for all you do EE 🙏🏻
We vegans simply align our actions with our beliefs! Thank you Ed for all that you do for the animals! 🌱💯
It’s empowering isn’t it?
🔥The Connections (2021) [short documentary] 🔥
Morality does not, and should not, dictate what someone eats and doesn't eat.
@@antibigotpolice By your logic cannibalism including eating baby humans would be fine. Morals should very much dictate what we eat.
@@SleepyMongoose cannibalism isn't natural for humans, eating other animals is.
I'm going to show this to all of my friends. Thanks so much for this thought provoking video, Ed!
🔥The Connections (2021) [short documentary] 🔥
My friends don’t even want to hear about it and no one wants to see it. And they are animal lovers. No one wants to accept the truth. It’s just so F… frustrating. How could you knock into someone’s door and enter without it being opened. 🤷♀️
@@vegan.enlightenment I recently told my mum that I find it interesting how some people want to try & reduce ALL unnecessary harm (though I agree to focus on human-caused harm first)- example: lions apparently don't see a reason to kill their prey if they don't struggle so sometimes they eat baby elephants alive. My mum responded to that being like "Could we please stop with such a cruel topic" & I just saw a chance there & said "You're eating a dead animal too right now"- & she knows that humans don't have to eat animals so I'm hoping it did something somewhere. Who knows, maybe something like this might work in your case? I've found that the more clear & self-confident I am the more people might actually listen. Just imagine someone defending themselves or stepping up for someone all shy & tripping over their words (me in the past) vs just clearly voicing basic facts (what Ed does as well). You can also see that with streamers, celebrities etc.: they'll get much less drama & trolls etc. if they're just clear, confident & factual. It's hard & takes practice but it is possible & worth a shot, I think.
@@KanashiAtisuto yes. You are right. I won’t stop and I don’t care if they don’t like it. Something sometime might click. We just have to plant the seeds. Thanks 🙏
Shove it, I’ve just about had enough of you sending me videos to watch. Can’t you send me funny videos instead like a normal friend would do.
Yes, this is an important video for everyone to watch to challenge their belief systems, or lack of thought on the subject. This is one of the most important subjects in modern history.
A couple years and a few months ago, I went flexi plant-based (I don't think flexi-vegan is a thing) for the environment (this after being vegetarian for about 3 years). I already was thinking about the animals, but didn't make the full connection and didn't know about what is really behind of all the animal industries. I only had maybe one cookie with butter or milk once a month, a small treat when I went out because there are no vegan sweet options in any cafeteria of my city. It was hard to resist because I've always had a sweet tooth and very strong sugary cravings.
But a few months later, I started to binge-watch your videos, your public talks, I watched Dominion and other documentaries. And after a few hours of crying watching those, I went full vegan, and haven't had a single animal product in two years, and never coming back. I just cannot get myself into even think of consuming those products anymore.
Now, I don't have those strong cravings, but I learned to veganize many desserts so I could get my treats but without harming animals in the process. I cook more variety than ever.
I want to thank you for all your work, Ed. I'm sure the futur either will be vegan, or we won't have any future, and if we do have it, you will be one of the people that helped the change. Thank you.
Thank you for caring & sharing 😭💕
you're an amazing person, thank you for caring and for being compassionate and empathetic towards other living beings. People like you make a huge difference in this world.
Wow, I love your story. Thank you so much for sharing, I'm proud of you ❤️💚🌱
People like Ed are making the biggest contribution of all of us.
For sure he already helped thousands of people turning vegan. Several thousands of animals a year are saved like that .
We "only" need 50+x% vegans in the population, that is when meat eating ends
Damn, that was creative, informative, thought-provoking and entertaining, all in the same video!
1:51 The most common way land animals are killed PERIOD. If you say "in slaughterhouses" people will fool themselves into believing only slaughterhouses kill animals that way. This feeds their cognitive dissonance. Sentences like this one allow people to fool themselves into believing you can obtain meat without slitting someone's throat.
My guess is that that distinction was made with gas chambers (common for pigs), what the male chicks go through or crocodiles or animals killed for their fur experience, in mind.
I have come up with the argument of cognitive dissonance quite a few times in conversations with non vegans and most of the time they had nothing to counter it and felt bad, which, of course, did not prevent them from having fried chicken for dinner. I hope that at least something stuck with them subconciously and one day they´ll go the whole nine yards.
Very well explained my dear Edward, thank you.
The fact that the exact same act done to an equally innocent animal can be viewed as immoral in one case, and moral in another, all to alleviate the guilt that comes with knowingly paying for this to happen, and all for selfish greed, blows my mind. It only becomes "evil and immoral" when others can't selfishly benefit from it.
Exactly, cruelty is fine, as long as someone is making money.
@@OM617a and we act like such an evolved, intelligent, morally superior society
@@aubs965 I couldn't agree more. The human race has devolved drastically, people killing animals and themselves through ignorance.
@@OM617a Perfectly said! It's the opposite of intelligent to completely wreck the earth by mass breeding billions of animals JUST so that we can all live horribly uncomfortable lives and then die prematurely.
@Brad Bowers People have been killing and enslaving humans for thousands of years. Do you approve of these traditions too, or is it just the abuse of animals?
Best explanation of cognitive dissonance I’ve seen. Well done, Surge!
I think writing a book has really helped you arrive at a new level of organizing your ideas. For me, this is one of your best!
Just the other day my family was complaining of a time in Peru when they served them roasted guinea pigs for lunch and walking out of the restaurant grossed out and angry. While their fridge is full of other animals that suffered the same fate
Most people don't even realize the contradiction there. At the end of the day there is no excuse to consume animals and their products.
@Aaron Loos good thing there are more people willing to be kinder to others and less of you every day. Cheers 😉
@ Aaron Loos Plant based alternatives are on the rise. If people were not trying to eat less animal products that wouldn’t be the case since it’s based on supply and demand.
Can you reference the study you are referring to?
@Aaron Loos I am from india with highest percent pure vegetarians 30 percent
many indian vegetarians like jains and brahmans have not eaten meat since generations
@Aaron Loos every country has both positive and negetive in its own don't focus on negetive parts find out positive parts of India
@@mrwallygator501 umm but from pure numerical value animal slaughter for food and animal husbandry is increasing. And it'll increase as surely as human population grows. If vegans grow, non vegans grow atleast 10 times faster
just commenting to support the video!
I'm so glad that Non-Hypocrite animal lovers like you and so many others are here to serve on this lovely mother earth. More people are becoming vegan activists and making others aware of their food choices only because of selfless people like you. Thankyou so much, Love From India ♥️
thank you for caring and for being a compassionate, loving and mature person. People like you make a huge difference in this world. ♥
"Double-think" is a good term too. Great little short on the subject, gets the point across just fine. The 'because I like it!' is a fun little thought experiment here too, often exposing the cognitive dissonance of many non-vegans. I can think of the lady who dumped a cat in the bin because she "thought it was funny" and "it's just a cat" as a great example.
This was brilliant. The relief u feel from no longer having cognitive dissonance is indescribable
Actually “euphoric” seems to pretty well describe it. But I know where you are coming from. I love being alone (no humans around) and spending time with animals and feel as if they know I would starve before hurting one of them, that is an amazing feeling.
An excellent piece. The quiz at the beginning was genius. It makes viewers actually confront their own cognitive dissonance on their diet. Saving this video to share with non-vegan friends.
Great way to express how cognitive dissonance works. I am thankful that my brain worked well enough to change my actions instead of trying to rationalize my abuse of nonhuman animals with excuses
Insane right? That's especially terrifying when people consider themselves as intelligent, trying so hard to protect their sandwich with dead pig from morality. The same time they cry when they see a dying piglet. Sometimes I just can't believe that this society is real.
@ Ryan Robinett It’s adorable that you think your smart but bolstering your Ignorance will definitely give any intellectual quite the chuckle after reading that comment and completely disregard your two cents.
@ Ryan Robinett So if I have the yard space to grow my own food but shop at a grocery store for whole plant based foods I’m immoral? If I pay for the unnecessary abuse and deaths of
Sentient beings my choices will be moral again?
@ Ryan Robinett It’s a RUclips comment section don’t take it so seriously kiddo 😂
I didn’t ignore you. Reread my previous comment and elaborate from there.
@Ryan Robinett lmao your trying to hard how much time you spent typing this out? 🤣
@Ryan Robinett Guess where most of the crops go? TO FEED ANIMALS. That will then just be killed for no reason. How do you not understand this? You’re talking absolute nonsense.
Thank you, Ed. So glad I became vegan, after being a vile, selfish prick for most of my life. 🌱
Wow!, the production quality, just wow
Hypocrisy and moving the goal posts have always been the name of the game.
When going vegan, after a period of massive discomfort, that comes with acknowledging that our actions were immoral for years, comes huge relief and satisfaction that we eventually live by what we believe is right. I highly recommend it!
I SUPPORT YOU SO MUCH I HAVE BEEN WITH YOU FROM THE START AND SEEN YOU GROW TO THIS MILESTONE. CONGRATS ED CONGRATS
As always Ed, you and Surge have expressed the matter at hand in the most clear and concise way possible.
I think the game show bit will be highly effective at showing non-vegans watching this of their cognitive dissonance. By gamifying morality and immorality, non-vegans will prioritize winning the game over avoiding their cognitive dissonance; facilitating confrontation.
Fantastic video. Thank you, Surge, for making this.

Comment for the algo
I absolutely love this video. It's certainly a big eye opener. Thanks, Ed!
So true! Thanks for everything you do Ed!
Cognitive dissonance is literally what created religion. Excellent video.
A cult based around facts? If veganism is a cult, so is the cult of breathing oxygen and blinking.
@Aaron Loos Yawn
@Aaron Loos Nah man, I have much more energy knowing I don't pay for animals to be put in gas chambers and have their throats cut for a sandwich :)
Just by the way we treat animals show how far we are from really being evolved creatures.
It's crazy how soffisticated and primitive we are in the same time.
I have the outmost respect for animals, they are such gentle creatures , especially the ones we farm.. How could anyone hurt a baby lamb?
Thank God times are changing, until we die we will have taken huge steps forward for a western world that is as kind as possible to animals
YOU ARE A FREAKIN LEGEND THANKS FOR EXPLAINING THIS FOR SIMPLE AND CONFUSED PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND
Very good video👍

Yaaaaaas Earthling Ed ma man
Are you from the vegan town of gore in NZ 😁
When I got a bus from Dunedin to Invercargill, the amount of sheep I seen in the fields was so much I have never seen so much sheep in fields
This is very compelling. I’m curious how you foresee people overcoming this innately human phenomenon of cognitive dissonance, especially since you yourself noted that the information doesn’t resolve the contradiction.
Yes , why after the plane facts" seen", others don't seem to change.
One solution , imagine "see" a harmony with animals / nature.
I imagine this harmony is possible.
It go beyond logical debate, which only seem to work sometimes.
Excellent video, Ed.
excellent video, very well framed, i hope it gets through to people
You're spot on! Never trust society for your morals. A sad reality, when you realize collectively just how immoral/ selfish we are. 95% of people feel it's wrong to kill and harm animals, yet 95% of people needlessly kill and harm helpless animals so that they can eat them. It's hard not to get yourself down sometimes. Thanks Ed for all that you do!
New video!!
Amazing video. Thank you for that and hope this can make a few more people become more aware of other realities.
Fantastic. Relevant logical perfectly delivered. As always. Thank you Ed!

👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 *Thank you for being one of the rational vegans who understands that pointing out the VERY important point that it's UNNECESSARY for most humans to consume animal products to be healthy.*
There's a small faction of not very critical thinking vegans who apparently thinks it's a terrible mistake to do this.
2:30
The reason that there's ZERO hypocrisy in calling the act of someone sexually gratifying them self by penetrating a cow without consent "pervy" and not calling the practice of inseminating a cow for the purpose of breeding for profit "pervy" is because there are 2 totally different intentions involved. It's NOT at all difficult for a reasonable person to understand this.
Understanding, identifying, and labeling intentions correctly is much more often than not, very important.
Whether the outcome is the same is irrelevant here. It would ONLY be relevant if you're referring to outcomes. But by focusing on the "pervy" part, you're doing just the opposite of focusing on the outcome
*Additionally, it's also a terrible tactic (because it's not sensible) to label insemination for profit "rape" since "rape" has a very specific context that apparently entails motivations that are "sexual".*
If any non consensual penetrating of an anus was a form of "rape" then it would be absolutely required to label as "rape" any life saving effort made by someone (let's say an emergency room doctor) were they to remove a dangerous object from someone who was found unconscious and found with an object that was potentially dangerous to them, in their rectum.
That's how we know that "rape" is not a sensible word to use for describing artificial insemination of cows REGARDLESS is someone in the dairy industry or some shouting vegan refers to that artificial insemination as "rape".
We need to do better as advocates than to use such sloppy framing and language.
Regardless of if they're being penetrated for profit or for sexual gratification, the experience is still the same for the animal. They're still being penetrated against their will.
I agree with the second part of your comment but I'm confused by the first. There are vegans who have stopped eating animal products and yet believe they need to? What's their argument?
Rape does not have to be sexually motivated. It's probably in most cases but would you not call someone having sexual intercourse without consent to get them pregnant rape? Or what about violating someone's sensitive parts to hurt or humiliate them? Or what about "challenges" where the abusers only want to prove themselves & feel good among their social environment? What matters is the victim's experience. Not even consensual interaction of that kind is always sexually motivated.
@@melitrophium I think the "terrible mistake" is meant to be mentioning that it's unnecessary. Idk why.
@@KanashiAtisuto
Normatively, yes, it is about sexuality.
I wouldn't label trying to impregnate some one without consent as rape, unless there's a sexual component to it.
That doesn't mean that that forcing isn't bad or even reprehensible ......... it's just that I don't find a good enough reason to call it rape.
The method doesn't determine the rape part, it's the intent that does. As for intercourse where the male is penetrating, normatively this happens only when there's sexual arousal first. I'm not aware of any example where an erection prior to intercourse happens without some sort of sexual arousal.
Tried to inform an old couple about dairy while at the grocery store as they were contemplating what butter to buy. I suggested Miyokos... the elder lady told me grass fed dairy is "healthy" and "God gave us the right." 🙈🙉
Yeah, god definitely told us to unnaturally breed cows to maximize milk production and profits the point where their udders are too big and heavy to carry and break their legs, to shove our arm into a cow's vag, forcibly impregnate her over and over non stop (+ electrocute bulls in the a/nus to force them to e/jaculate and steal their semen), take her baby away, steal all the hormonal-growth liquid mean to grow a baby calf and give her mastitis and other infections caused by the excessive exploitation. Absolutely.
Btw Miyoko is amazing.
Excellent video Ed!
This was sooo interesting and amazingly well explained!! Thanks Ed
It's a very simple fact of people generally agreeing that the subjective benefit of animal products far outweighs the negative consequences of the animals suffering. We generally don't agree that sexual arousal is worth forcing a hand into a cow, so naturally we will not find it a good justification. You can do the same exercise with anaything. You don't think it's moral to kill others for sexual arousal? Then how is it moral to kill for self-defense? It's merely because we share the same values with the latter justification and not the former. Just because we dislike certain consequences of our actions does not mean there isn't a goal we perceive as worthy enough to endure those disliked consequences and allow them as a means to an end. Hope this helps!
i see what you mean, some people think that because we get sustenance from eating animals and their excretions, we are justified in torturing and killing them. but the torture and death of the animals is needless when one can get all the nutrition they need from vegan food
@@erin-eh2sl I'm not necessarily referring to those people. What people generally highly value about animal products is the convenience they offer. Since most people agree on this, the action of purchasing animal products does not receive the same label of "immoral" as killing for sexual pleasure would receive, sinice we generally don't agree this kind of pleasure is worth the suffering. So no one reason to harm is moral or immoral on its own, it's dependant on how much we collectively value it compared to the suffering it takes. "Necessity", or the pleasure for staying alive, is just one pleasure out of many others that can be valued more than the suffering of another.
The reason for vegan advocacy (including this video) is actually to change the current situation of "people generally agreeing that the subjective benefit of animal products far outweighs the negative consequences of the animals suffering", because this "agreement" is only based on cultural habits, which do often not dictate what is moral or not (counter examples: slavery, women rights, homosexuality) and it is obvious that culture cannot morally justify harming and killing animals for unnecessary reasons.
@@stt7598 everything is "unnecessary" unless you attach something to it.
meat is necessary for maximising human wellbeing.
a position you have to hold to justify being on youtube, or living at all.
It is very simple:
Morals are a man made construckt, there are no God given or Higher power morals.
Personaly, I just want to do less harm within the limits of what I find reasonable.
And not supporting meat, is one of the ways I do it.
@Anon Anon Depends on what you define as Vegan. :)
@Anon Anon But which definition is it?
I don't eat meat, I don't drink Milk, I don't eat egg, I don't use clothing or furniture made of animals.
But I do use the roads, I live in a house, I drive, I buy food in shops that sell meat, I use the electric grid, I use medicine, etc etc. All of which have, does and will kill animals.
So I Guess I do abuse animals🤔
