“So even if we know intellectually that things are

changing and changing faster, what we see and feel is

very different. And our experiences, and the feelings

that we get from them, are very, very influential in

determining our behaviour. So if it doesn't feel like

things are changing that much, we do not actively and

aggressively look for new ways to adapt to that

change. It's really that simple. And increasingly, it's

really that dangerous.”
