The bias that often prevents people from recognizing disruptive, abrupt growth is called status quo bias. This cognitive bias leads individuals to prefer things to remain the same, making them resistant to change and less likely to notice or accept new, transformative developments.

Several other related biases may also play a role:

1. Confirmation Bias: People tend to focus on information that confirms their existing beliefs while ignoring or undervaluing information that contradicts them.


2. Anchoring Bias: This bias causes individuals to rely too heavily on the first piece of information they encounter, making them resistant to new data that suggests significant changes.


3. Normalcy Bias: People often assume that current trends will continue and underestimate the possibility of sudden, transformative shifts. This can lead to a lack of preparedness for disruptive growth.


4. Overconfidence Bias: Some individuals may overestimate their ability to predict outcomes, causing them to disregard signs of potential disruption.



Together, these biases can create a barrier to recognizing and responding to disruptive growth in various fields, including technology, business, and social trends.
