    Humans take data and build narratives. Narratives are easier to process vs raw data. So you have raw data that includes a lot of pain and the narrative is built. New data has no chance against old data since every time old data was recalled it is copied. The happy moment is stomped down by the miserable moment that was remembered a 1000x.

    I am not saying it isn’t a real issue, I am saying that for the people it impacts, it impacts them a great deal.

    Maybe we shouldn’t treat people like crap and maybe we should teach people to deal with pain as it is not based on whatever fictional narrative they built to justify it.
