    Watch Dominion. If you can’t or won’t, you can conclude you are depending on your denial to keep your shit together. That’s not a good place to be.

    Once you make an emotional connection with the facts that you already know but won’t allow yourself to process, it doesn’t take any “willpower” or “commitment” not to harm intelligent creatures. How much willpower does it take you not to own slaves, not to run over people in the street? Is there a chance your commitment to not stealing and selling children is going to waver?
