"The normalcy bias, or normality bias, is a belief people enter when facing a disaster. It causes people to underestimate both the possibility of a disaster and its possible effects. Normalcy bias causes people to believe that things will always function the way things normally function."
It's a defense mechanism our brain uses that causes us to deal with impending disasters in an irrational way. Like the meme of the dog sitting in a burning house saying "this is fine."
There have been documented cases of people refusing to get out of their seat after a plane crash because their brain has convinced them everything is going to be ok and their worst fears aren't currently being realized.
Ole Miss fans' brains have convinced them that everything is going to be fine and return to normal. They've made themselves believe that the impending disaster isn't going to happen.
This is fine. Everything is fine.
