The Cognitively Dissonant vs The Cognitively Consonant?

In the beginning (sounds like the Bible), there was no intelligence and it emerged?

Or there was intelligence and it started manifesting in the universe?

Intelligence, emotions and other factors begat cognitive dissonance and cognitive consonance?

Evolution-wise, or over time, there should be more people who are cognitively consonant than cognitively dissonant. 

Due to democratic voting, changing a country's policies requires a majority. If the cognitively consonant control media and other private organizations, then a majority is not always needed. 

If there were more cognitively consonant people, the world would be a much better and more logical place. Hope we are headed that way.

People today are a mix of contradictions. Were people meant to evolve into being more cognitively consonant?

Why do people and knowledge keep evolving into a "higher" state? Something like entropy? Maybe some effect or a type of energy that people have believed to be a God?

What is the percentage of people globally today who are cognitively consonant? Less than 1%?

It would be very hard to be 100% cognitively consonant. 

What is the percentage of people globally today who are around 60% cognitively consonant? 10%?

Don't know and doubt that I will ever even if I took a long time to think about it.
