Short answer is of course "politics".
It always, IMHO, boils down to this. Because sadly, given it's been attempted to be explained to them, and they still persist it's not a problem... you just can't maintain the belief that they just are not getting it. They very much do get it, they just don't give a shit.

They may be understanding what is explained, but fail to understand the problem. I see this happening toward my Asperger’s. I explain the trouble it may bring, but they shrug and say ‘just practice and you’ll overcome this’.
-
I think that amounts to the same thing. They just don't care enough to understand.
-
I'm aspie too BTW.
-
The difference being that your perspective is that people are more in control of their actions and responsible as such. I don’t think people generally are that intelligent.
-
We completely agree. I don't think so either. But we're talking about scientists who do indeed get it.
-
The context here is scientists who are for sure "clever enough" whatever that means because I see them get it and even use it to their advantage. But they then purposefully pull the ladder up behind them.
-
I would never say "people are not that intelligent" but the general spirit behind your comment, I still agree with. Never attribute to malice, etc. But with evidence and I'm this subsample of people, we can easily attribute purposeful behaviour.

I'm = in, typo.

I think the "it" here is getting increasingly amorphous ("it's a problem", "they're not getting it"), and is functioning primarily to create an in-group bonding experience.
-
I'm pretty sure I and others as gender, ethnic, etc. minorities already have pretty solid bonds. We don't need extra.

They always need maintaining.

Sorry, but I can't tell if you're tweeting at me in good faith or not.

that ones perspective is too incomplete to accurately grasp what ppl are going on about & then to start listening & reflecting. Why are some able to make that switch while others unable to? Also sincerely asking.
