Stupid?

"There seems to be a missing piece.  I can't quite put my finger on it. What seems abundantly clear to our small group is nearly invisible to many others who otherwise share many of our views. Their skepticism is quite palpable."

"I sense it too. Remember that phrase, "it has legs." it is as if a deliberately unspoken assumption is affecting critical thinking, even in people who pride themselves in their intellectual capacity.

"A striking and visible pattern is a shame cycle, I am ashamed that I cannot do that. Does it apply here?"

"Perhaps. A human will often subconsciously defend a familiar repetitive activity by discrediting something that would seem to challenge its efficacy."
