Humans and Change

Humans fear change. Humans love certainty. In view of this, it is fairly obvious why humans would rather base their assessment and regulation of new phenomena on existing phenomena rather than create a whole new paradigm by which their judgments are made. They do not wish to be thrust into the unknown that creating a new paradigm entails. This regulates the pace of change and simultaneously holds progress back. There can be no radical new paradigm to revolutionize the way people operate, except perhaps by a fluke.
