The cognitive dissonance often goes a little like this:

“I can see my smartphone is leading to my enslavement.

But I like my smartphone and can’t do without it. I’ve come to rely on it and conduct so many aspects of my life on it- it would be too difficult to give up.

Therefore, it’s just a ‘conspiracy theory’ that my smartphone is leading to my own enslavement, and so I can take comfort in not thinking about it, not having to make any changes, and feel secure because ‘everyone else is doing it.'”
