Morris sees signals all around that suggest people are at the end of their tolerance of the pace of change today, much less tomorrow, when futurists suggest there will be more change over the next decade alone than during the prior 100 years. “The whole MAGA movement is essentially an expression of millions of people who are experiencing anxiety because of too much change,” Morris says. “They’re afraid, they’re angry, they’re upset, they want to go back to how it was 20, 30, 40, 50 years ago. The symptoms that Alvin Toffler describes in his 1970 book, Future Shock are what we’re living out in a very public way in society today.”
