What changed between 1970s and today is that we became overly sensitive. We want to ignore facts and logic and replace them with feelings and overly sensitive emotions that trigger us, so that we want to sit and say “I know it is the truth, but don’t tell that to me because I just can’t handle that!”, therefore it doesn’t exist.
It is in this fairy tale realm that if we make believe it is not there then we don’t have to face it. Well, I got news for you: you’ll eventually have to face it. The truth is the truth and your feeling don’t matter.
