Human beings have a preference for stability. We spend our lives working to achieve it and our political systems are not only built to create it, they favor those who enshrine the status quo. And except for a few thrill seekers and those who are deeply disadvantaged by stasis, rapid change is stressful to everyone. An illustration of stability an object depends largely upon the environment it is in. Pushing a marble in situation A, and it will return to the middle. In B, it will continue to roll until stopped by something else, but will largely stay in the state it was last left in. And in C? The marble’s stability was tenuous and, once pushed, will accelerate away from the center and never return. Humans like systems that return to “normal” and we fear systems where the marble rolls off the table and across the floor.
