[QUOTE="WayOfTheFourElements, post: 8077387, member: 6904757"] Even without censorious editing, humans' ability to stick their collective heads in the sand is a marvel to behold. Censorship of the truth only makes things worse. [URL unfurl="true"]https://time.com/5327279/ushmm-americans-and-the-holocaust/[/URL] "The main story in the 1930s was the Great Depression, but Greene says that news of the persecution — and, later, murder — of Jews in Germany did show up in print. 'It’s not that the story was buried,' he says. 'Just like news is there today of Syria or of the danger to the Rohingya, it punctures through our consciousness at certain times.'" "To wit, one item that’s part of the USHMM exhibition shows public opinion polls demonstrating that while half of U.S. respondents in 1943 thought the fact that 2 million Jewish Europeans had been murdered was just a rumor, by 1944 about three-quarters believed concentration camps were really part of the Nazi plan — and yet they still couldn’t fathom the number of victims involved." Unfortunately, truth is something very difficult to define. Epistemology is a sub-discipline of philosophy, not science, and rightly so. By virtue of our limited time and understanding, it is rare for someone to produce a string of good, logical reasons that justify the things he/she believes. We simply repeat arguments we've heard from other, but which do not fully grasp. We all do this is a large extent. Selective editing and censorship are not the source of the problem, but they do strengthen and normalize its grasp on the modern psyche. [/QUOTE]
