Reply #55: He played on her ego big time, she suspended whatever critical thinking [View All]

she might have. The first guy saying "Yea" was already a hint that something was missing. I agree, she so much wanted to buy it. This is a case of not challenging one's own assumptions, a lack of critical thinking, and emotions overriding reason. Near the end of the call, her voice seemed to show some cognitive dissonance, which she suppressed. This does happen to many (including myself) who have been pranked/duped/conned, but boy, the way she acted and some of the things she said, like laughing after him talking about enjoying killing.
