Vested Interests Resist Change

Posted in Philosophy, Quotes, tagged Carl Sagan, Future, Human Societies, Innovation, Philosophy, President Abraham Lincoln, Quotes, Resistance, Rituals, Status Quo, Suspicion, Truth, Vested Interests on August 20, 2025| 2 Comments »

In general, human societies are not innovative. They are hierarchical and ritualistic. Suggestions for change are greeted with suspicion: they imply an unpleasant future variation in ritual and hierarchy: an exchange of one set of rituals for another, or perhaps for a less structured society with fewer rituals. And yet there are times when societies must change. “The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate for the stormy present” was Abraham Lincoln’s description of this truth. Much of the difficulty in attempting to restructure American and other societies arises from this resistance by groups with vested interests in the status quo. Significant change might require those who are now high in the hierarchy to move downward many steps. This seems to them undesirable and is resisted.

— Carl Sagan

A Button: Faith In The Future

Posted in Philosophy, Quotes, tagged Button, Eric Hoffer, Faith, Future, Hope, Philosophy, Power, Quotes, Slogan, Status Quo, The True Believer: Thoughts On The Nature Of Mass Movements, Word on December 17, 2024| Leave a Comment »

What seems to count more than possession of instruments of power is faith in the future. Where power is not joined with faith in the future, it is used mainly to ward off the new and preserve the status quo. On the other hand, extravagant hope, even when not backed by actual power, is likely to generate a most reckless daring. For the hopeful can draw strength from the most ridiculous sources of power — a slogan, a word, a button.

— Eric Hoffer

Everything Has Its Cost

The Universe operates on a basic principle of economics: everything has its cost. We pay to create our future, we pay for the mistakes of the past. We pay for every change we make . . . and we pay just as dearly if we refuse to change.

You can’t change the past. You can’t even change the future, in the sense that you can only change the present one moment at a time, stubbornly, until the future unwinds itself into the stories of our lives.
