The Illusion of Permanence

Description
The Psychology of Permanence
Human societies are built on assumptions of continuity. We believe:
The courthouse will open tomorrow.
The grid will deliver electricity.
Schools will ring the morning bell.
This is more than optimism — it’s a cognitive bias called status quo bias. We assume that because an institution has always been there, it will always continue. It becomes like air: unnoticed, unexamined, unquestioned.
