I have no idea, but no one died or was impaled in this one. So I guess it's good.
Well if good means that it benefits us...
YAY GOOD!

Two words: "cognitive dissonance"
*dictionary.com's it*
1) Of, characterized by, involving, or relating to cognition: “Thinking in terms of dualisms is common in our cognitive culture” (Key Reporter).
2) Having a basis in or reducible to empirical factual knowledge.
Hm. 2.
1) A harsh, disagreeable combination of sounds; discord.
2) Lack of agreement, consistency, or harmony; conflict: “In Vietnam, reality fell away and dissonance between claim and fact filled the void” (Michael Janeway).
3) Music. A combination of tones contextually considered to suggest unrelieved tension and require resolution.
2 again.
My Interpretation
Knowing about stuff that doesn't make sense.
*searches for deeper meaning*
Oh, an oxymoron!
