> Unfortunately it is going to require people to sit with feeling uneasy

People throw around this phrase, but it always strikes me as nonsensical.

There's a lot of stupid opinions that can make people feel uneasy, so unease is not some magic barometer of truth.

People are going to feel really uneasy if they are listening to you defend your appreciation of child pornography, but that doesn't mean you have struck upon some deep uncomfortable truth.
