I am not a fan of denial & resistance arguments. Do bad thing X. Try to convince others that X is good and its failure of acceptance is just people's denial. Next step is the well-known psychological curve that you will accept X eventually. This can be applied indiscriminately to anything one wants to push without having to defend the specifics. We should instead question all assertions - there is no law out there that denial always precedes acceptance.
- CRConrad 5y ago> there is no law out there that denial always precedes acceptance. Yeah. "Denial, resistance, acceptance" -- isn't that from the six (or was it seven?) stages of grief? But grief is for something inevitable and irresistible, a fait accompli: When a loved one has died that has already happened and there is nothing you can do about it. Here, though, if enough of us think that our industry is going the wrong way, maybe we can still stop it.
