> That is a very interesting analogy for cognitive dissonance if we point out where the "filter" truly resides.
The word "nigger" seems to be a threshold for a lot of people. But even then, just mild racism itself is a turnoff for most people. They of course don't understand why, or explore the feeling any more than being butthurt by it, and they just let that monarch programming you speak of take over.
> Is the language GLR uses filtered? Id say not.
What I meant is that the language itself is a filter, not that GLR was filtering what he was saying. He's speaking truth from the heart, and that cuts right through peoples sensibilities.
But I like your interpretation of it anyway: you put "the filter" on the other side if the spectrum, saying it's the filter preventing THEM from crossing over the threshold and hearing his words.
