    It's the normalcy bias.
    Ah, is that what it's called? I'd wondered. Back when I was with my ex, he'd traipse around town in his full ren faire garb, which included a broadsword in a scabbard on his hip. It was always amusing to listen to the little kids pointing and telling their parents about the guy with the sword, and the parents looking over right at him and then telling their kids that he didn't have one.

    Even so, I'm willing to bet that a good portion isn't that so much as just plain critical self-absorption. Some people are so wrapped up in their own self-importance that they can't be bothered to pay attention to the world around them.

      Or, it could just be that they're stupid.
      Maybe it's Darwin in action >_> They're actively removing themselves from the reproductive flow...The only problem is, they'd more than likely take ten times as many sentient beings with them x.x
