The Curious Consistency of Change
“I cannot believe in this newfangled motor car! Give me a horse any day,” my great-grandfather proclaimed shortly before his first ride in an automobile. Alas, no strangers to progress, his horse and buggy soon hit the dustbin. Great-grandad's shock at rapidly changing technology illuminates a timeless paradox. As the philosopher Confucius observed long ago: “Only the wisest and stupidest of men never change.” Adaptation and consistency go hand in hand. Refusing to evolve risks being left behind.
