Abstract
We know change is constant, but we also feel the pace of change is accelerating, and we suspect most changes should be feared: think pandemic threats, climate change and generative artificial intelligence. Fearing social, economic and political change is the subject of tens of thousands of books, movies, news stories and podcasts. Social researchers have labelled the cycle of public fears about growing problems “moral panics.” Moral panics dissipate as quickly as they grow as the public moves on to new concerns.
