This is why we must continually gird ourselves against being stupid. It is human nature to dismiss the uncomfortable and substitute a better fiction in its place. We insist that each horrible thing cannot be so horrible, because all those other humans would surely not have been able to stomach it so easily. We insist that we are free from all past sins because we are more enlightened, and then go to dramatic lengths to un-enlighten ourselves.
