Reply to comment by [deleted] in Upon hearing recordings of wolf howls, older family dogs from more ancient breeds respond with longer howls — suggesting that genetic similarity with wolves affects dogs’ repertoire by marketrent
It is because dogs have the same forefather as wolves, a prehistoric wolf. Like us and chimps, only we can't breed with other apes.

That is also a reason why some things repeat themselves. Only with all knowledge can we repair or prevent things as a society.
This also the case with abuse and racism. If enough people forget or don't want to know it keeps going in some form. The reason why people don't want to know is the same, to make their suroundings better in their mind. That is why some families ignore or even hide sexual abuse. If it is not happening in your mind it can not be true. But it is just pushed deeper and has lasting effect, the mind remembers more then we know.

There is a difference between what is healthy for your kidneys and what they can process without overloading when you have kidney disease.
Also new findings give more insight what the best approach is. Low phosphorus with medium protein (contains phosphate but muscle function) could be a better approach in early stages of kidney disease for example. With further stages that could change.
You can also take 'phosphate binders'

I am not comparing what happened, but instead why they chose not wanting to know. The reasoning for that choice is the same.
So not how but why people don't want to know the possible bad things done by neighbors, friends and family or country. This was and always is a possibility thus fear will influence that choice. Even if you already have suspicions or know you can choose to believe otherwise by ignoring real evidence.
That same influence happens with abuse and racism. This is something people sometimes choose not to believe or ignore because it could be somebody you trust, a best friend or family member you love.
What people find more important also influences that choice. You can choose somebody you know or yourself over what somebody did.
So my comparison is indeed about the influence of who on a choice. For bystanders and victims.
