人们青睐世界上现有的和长期存在的国家。对维持现状的理性解释得到了一些非理性机制的补充；损失厌恶、避免遗憾、重复暴露和合理化创造了对现有状态的偏好。我们表明，由于存在和长寿，现状也受益于简单的善良假设；人们将存在视为善良、审美和道德的表面证据。长寿增加了这种偏好。这些偏见以启发式的方式运作，形成了认知和社会变革的障碍。
People favor the existing and longstanding states of the world. Rational explanations for status quo maintenance are complemented by a number of non-rational mechanisms; loss aversion, regret avoidance, repeated exposure, and rationalization create a preference for existing states. We show that the status quo also benefits from a simple assumption of goodness due to mere existence and longevity; people treat existence as a prima facie case for goodness, aesthetic and ethical Longevity increases this preference. These biases operate heuristically, forming barriers to cognitive and social change.
