Discuss your perspective on people who deny social issues and refuse to acknowledge that societal problems require societal solutions.
Yes and the same kind of denial is directed at social science. Homeless haters, for example, refuse to understand anything about what is really driving homelessness: a shortage of jobs, low wages, and high rents. They deny social reality because they don't want to pay taxes to do anything about social issues. Then they complain bitterly at the results, as society crumbles around them. I see no cure until things get so bad that they realize something has to be done. There is no cure for stupidity.
