Soviet doublethink?
Is this holding two ideas in your head at the same time, or holding contradictory ideas in your head at the same time?

I heard Russel Brand once say something like the mark of an intelligent man is the ability to hold two conflicting ideas. And then I remembered his first TV job as Big Brother's Big Mouth!
That’s a quote from F. Scott Fitzgerald.

However, holding two conflicting ideas and not even realising the contradictions is a mark of a brainwashed individual.
