核心要点
What We All Choose Not to See
A five-year-old boy watches children die in a hospital ward. Instead of accepting death, the surviving children insist their friends have simply "gone home." This wasn't denial born of ignorance-it was something more deliberate, more human. Years later, that boy, Philip Zimbardo, would become a renowned psychologist studying this very phenomenon: our tendency to look away from truths we find unbearable. We all do this. We ignore the stack of unopened bills, the troubling lump we should get checked, the colleague's concerning behavior. But here's what makes this pattern truly dangerous: history's greatest catastrophes weren't hidden conspiracies orchestrated in shadows. The Catholic Church abuse scandal, Enron's collapse, the 2008 financial crisis-all unfolded in plain sight before people who simply chose not to look. This isn't about stupidity or malice. It's about a predictable human pattern with devastating consequences, one we must understand if we hope to change it.
