Whether you are speaking about evolution, a society, or politics.

The environment that creates the change may take time to develop, but like anything else, once the ingredients are there and it is heated, change happens normally overnight.

Put it this way, in the course of Human History for 6000+ years of civilization, most countries were dictatorships ruled by Kings whose title passes down by blood.

Within a very short period of time, historically speaking, the entire European world went from this form of government to representative democracy.

Another example is the Woman's rights movement. It took years for the right to vote to be offered to women in this country, but one day, the flood gate just opened up.

British Empire and the African slave trade the same thing, fall of communism, you name it. Change generally is fucking fast.

Change actually is seldom slow. There might be a slow march to the awareness of the need for change, but generally speaking, when it occurs it is lightning quick.

The Change is slow memo is bullshit. You might not have the right environment for change, but when the temperature is right, it happens like a strike of lighting.
