Message: [QUOTE="BlueDogs, post: 2504150, member: 891"] There is a well documented phenomena where many people in a serious crisis just stay put and die because they are more afraid of the unknown than the known (even if it will kill them). It's like people on the Titanic who refused to abandon ship fearing the ocean life rafts more than leaving the boat. These types of "the sky will fall if we change" is that phenomena. Most people are programmed to resist change because in ordinary circumstances change means increased risk. But, the brain doesn't process risk well outside of normative situations and often will even deny an unusual event is occurring, seeking an explanation to stay within the comfortable norm (I.e., the billowing smoke is just the restaurant downstairs, not a fire). KO is a four alarm fire and like a four alarm fire, it's time to move away from the danger. [/QUOTE]
