## Extracted Topic Notes

- evidence: One student answers that rejected possessive love ends with the beloved being condemned, aligning the scenario with Virgil putting a woman into hell. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-or3eow52wcc@transcript:v1#seg-0226`
- diagnosis: The class gradually isolates the mechanism beneath anger: Virgilian possessive love expects return praise, so refusal wounds the lover's vanity and turns into hostility. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-or3eow52wcc@transcript:v1#seg-0228`, `video:predictive-history-or3eow52wcc@transcript:v1#seg-0230`
- diagnosis: The logic of this bad love is that rejection intensifies pursuit rather than correcting desire, because the lover treats refusal as a problem to overpower. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-or3eow52wcc@transcript:v1#seg-0238`, `video:predictive-history-or3eow52wcc@transcript:v1#seg-0240`
- definition: For Jiang, cognitive dissonance is not just feeling uncomfortable about conflicting evidence but actively rejecting or suppressing it so one's worldview does not shatter. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-mdok9qaaa7q@transcript:v1#seg-0283`, `video:predictive-history-mdok9qaaa7q@transcript:v1#seg-0284`, `video:predictive-history-mdok9qaaa7q@transcript:v1#seg-0285`, `video:predictive-history-mdok9qaaa7q@transcript:v1#seg-0286`

## Retrieval Notes

This file is generated from Jiang Lens episode JSON, semantic tags, glossary terms, source refs, and transcript segment matches. It is not a manually authored canon page.

Freshness warning: this static topic page is bounded by the newest Jiang source listed above. For live/current events, first check /episodes/ and /interviews/ for newer event-specific readings. If none exists, use prospective mechanism search: establish current facts, actors, incentives, constraints, and mechanisms from live/current sources, then apply Jiang Lens concepts as dated hypotheses rather than as Jiang's current view.

For broader or missing-topic search, use the letter shards under /topics/index/ before falling back to the bulk transcript-search files.
