Just yesterday, I asked and did not receive an answer to the question: Why do I have to be sensitive to everyone's anxiety and nobody ever has to be sensitive to actual knowledge?

It was a sort of crass answer to being more or less accused by my sister-in-law of trying to kill her parents by having the gall to be in the same room with them. People are fucked, and they don't want to and don't know how to have a rational conversation about complicated issues.
