- selestify 5y agoThe general population has indeed been observed to be resistant to change. Max Planck noted that science advances one funeral at a time, and the same appears to be true of social norms as well (e.g. really old people being forgiven for blatantly racist behavior because they’re “from a different time.”) The fact that a minority of people are able to adapt their views over time does not change how the general population does not do this.
