Averse to pain perhaps? --- Similar to how humans tended to ignore what is in front of them, for example poverty. Do we think it exists because there aren't enough resources or because people do not like to acknowledge, as soon as they recognise it, they would be expected to do something about it. Another is scale of the problem, and one's sense of inadequacy to contribute towards its solution. Same is true of attitudes of some governments - 'nothing to see or not my problem'
