- tptacek 10y ago"Cognitive dissonance" and "value signaling" are Internet tropes meant to destroy discussion by suggesting that no disagreement with one's positions can be made in good faith. Among many problems with those tropes, there is no way to deploy them civilly: they are intrinsically uncivil, suggesting as they do that people who disagree with you are writing in bad faith. You can't argue like that here; remaining civil in disagreement is the first and most important rule of the site.
